So what shall we say about Washington’s alleged use of Deist titles for God? The problem with this objection is that there is no list of what are “Deist” titles for God.79
GEORGE WASHINGTON’S USE OF THE TERM “DIVINE”
To this remarkable list of titles for “deity,” we must also summarize Washington’s use of the word “Divine.” Washington’s understanding of this word is fairly broad. It refers to God’s help as seen in such phrases as: divine providence (19x), Knights of Divine Providence (3x), divine protection (5x), divine interposition (4x), divine aid (2x), divine government (1x), the divine arm (1x).
It refers directly to God in the phrases: Divine Author (2x), Divine Being (1x), Divine Benefactor (1x), and Divinity (1x).
