They say George Washington had a set of wooden teeth. Do you own any
woodworking tools?

I own a lot of tools for working on wood.

I think I read somewhere years ago in a book that George Washington
didn't have any wooden teeth.

My dentist claimed (years ago) it was not wooden,but rhino horn. I
think that's what he told me.

George Washington's 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation


They weren't above saying what they thought the great unwashed wanted to
hear, even in 1789. The paintings are photoshopped.

Washington, America's first president, did attend church services during
his adulthood, but refused to take Communion. When told by the priest
that he was setting a bad example by attending but refusing to
participate he chose to stop going altogether. So while he may not have
been expressly an atheist, religion was clearly not something that
weighed heavily on his mind and politics. Being religiously pious may be
viewed by some as an essential characteristic of an American president
today, but the man regarded as "The Father of America" was anything but.

Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence and America's third
president, was adamantly opposed to the establishment of a
state-sponsored church. It was he who wrote the Virginia Statute for
Religious Freedom. This document was the primary inspiration for the
First Amendment to the US Constitution which forbade the establishment
of any religion by the state.

Admittedly, Jefferson was more of a deist than an all-out atheist.
However, Darwin's majestic theory of evolution by natural selection
would sadly not be published in his lifetime. Considering Jefferson's
brilliant scientific mind, being aware of and understanding that theory
may have pushed him strongly into atheist territory.

Lincoln, the man who signed the Emancipation Proclamation into law, was
also not consoled by supernatural ideas. After the death of his son he
was understandably devastated. One of the reasons for this despair was
the idea that there was no 'next life' after this one. He believed his
son was gone forever and dismissed any notion of an afterlife (a view
that was not shared by his wife, who tried all kinds of supernatural
ideas in order to feel a connection with her lost child). Lincoln never
made any public pronouncements of faith, yet is still regarded by a vast
number of Americans as the greatest president the nation has ever had.
