Also wasn't said by Washington it appears. The phrase was spoken by a
government representative appointed by Washington in a treaty, but wasn't
officially approved until John Adams was president. Either way though the point
stands, it was generally a 'founding fathers' opinion.

I find it very interesting that the left would use this quote in this way, I
believe what the quote then was indicating was that we had no one religion
sanctioned by the government such as Great Britain at the time, but we were a
very diverse country of several different beliefs all based on Christian values.
I do not believe that at that time there were any Muslims in the colonies. Now
we are using the quote to say we have a country of other than the Christian
based faith and therefore not the enemy of Islam in an attempt to appease the
Islamic world.
