Need Some Research Help (Christ, bible, God, religion)

[septuagenarian]

I am trying to find out if this saying is actually attributed to George Washington or if it's a misquote.

"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and The Bible...He is worse than an infidel who does not read his Bible and acknowledge his obligation to God."

Religious quotes that never were

Try Paul Boller and John George, who co-wrote They Never Said It: A Book of Fake Quotes, Misquotes, & Misleading Attributions

It would seem that the quote is one given by David Barton who makes them up.

Fake Quotations: Washington and Governing without God « Fake History

Certainly, Washington never said that exact quote as his God was of the deist variety. He does make nods to religion in general, but he does not seem to favor any including Christianity. Even in the earliest version there is no evidence that Washington actually said something like it.
