What were George Washington's beliefs behind the Church of England and Catholic practice?

Upvote:4

While Washington was generally reticent about his personal religious beliefs (or lack thereof), many think that he was a Deist (like many of the other Founding Fathers), paying only lip service to organized Christianity. and mostly for its societal effects - that is, that it helped establish public order & morality.

What led to his Presidency was his generalship in the Revolution, and the almost universal admiration that Americans had for him. It had nothing whatsoever to do with the Church of England/Episcopalians, Catholics, or any other religion. Nor did the American Revolution arise out of religious differences. Most if not all of your question seems to bear no relation at all to actual history.
