[net.origins] Quote by George Washington

A little off the subject, perhaps:

I picked up a copy of a book at a thrift shop the other day, entitled
"Dynamic Freedoms".  It talks about various forms of freedom, including
religious freedoms.  It seems to be a book distributed by the Freemasons,
as their symbol is printed on it.

I found an interesting quote attributed to George Washington, something
to the effect of "In no way is the government of the United States founded
on the Christian religion".

Unfortunately the quote is not referenced as to a source.  Does anyone know
anything of the source to this quote?
