George Washington's religious beliefs have always intrigued Americans. Was he a devout Christian—or was he a deist? In a precursor to President's Day, the National Constitution Center presents a program exploring the question of Washington's religiosity with prominent scholars. Joining us will be Dr. Peter Lillback, author of George Washington's Sacred Fire, Dr. Peter Henriques, author of Realistic Visionary, Jana Novak, co-author of Washington's God, and moderator John DiIulio of the University of Pennsylvania. Program recorded on 2/6/2007.
