I wouldn't post it anywhere as fact, unless I wanted to be torn to shreds.
" James Madison, original mastermind of our Constitution, was an Atheist to the core who loved skewering Christianity. "
While Madison certainly skewered elements of Christianity, (namely the clergy and those who would use religion as a political tool), to extropolate that into him being an Atheist is ridiculous, as well as demonstrably false.
As far as Washington, I've seen a lot of claims, but scant evidence that he was a Deist.

"America is not a Christian nation. Period. Our Constitution derived from the post-Christian Enlightenment values of reason and truth...never from the paranoid yammerings of that otherwise compassionate cult leader who fucking died in the Middle Eastern desert 3000 years ago."

Yeah, I'd drop that one too.
