Because people see and understand the world through the prism of their belief system?

Atheism did not form the backbone to the founding fathers. Just sayin'....

There are also dozens of times recorded in Washington's personal diary where he stopped to pray with his troops during the Revolutionary War.

Washington was a pretty inconsistent deist, since deism, strictly speaking, does not hold to the immanentism of God in his creation the way theism does. Prayer, therefore, contradicts deistic tenets.

WND is a rag.

WorldNetDaily is an online publication founded and run by Joseph Farah that claims to pursue truth, justice and liberty. But in fact, its pages are devoted to manipulative fear-mongering and outright fabrications designed to further the paranoid, gay-hating, conspiratorial and apocalyptic visions of Farah and his hand-picked contributors from the fringes of the far-right and fundamentalist worlds.

Sounds like a big hallucinating Chumpy rag

As people get older they are more set in their ways, the chances of changing minds and beliefs is pretty well gone, if a Dem says to a Rep water is wet they would say no its not and vice versa if a rep said that to a Dem it would be the same, no its not.
