I'd say John Adams. For a long time it was Ben Franklin but I found enough to know what he believed.... And I know Washington would not discuss personal theology openly..... but I think Adams would be willing to talk a lot about it.
Aside from that, I would say Leo Tolstoy.
And last, Anne Hutchinson.

Thomas Jefferson would be an interesting historical choice. Today, I'd probably pick Richard Dawkins.

Hands down - I would wish I could discuss religion with Ghandi. Ghandi was an amazing man that exhibited a more Christ like attitude than some Christians do today. I think that I could learn a great deal from him. He took on the British empire through peaceful means. It is amazing to see someone that can accomplish that much in a world that believes we cannot take on another without violence.

Hm...I'd have to say...Walt Whitman. Because he was gay, and lived back in a time when you really couldn't be "gay" because it was so utterly taboo. I'd ask him how he felt about religion back then.
For the girl below me: Ghandi sounds good too ^_^. Also, maybe Martin Luther King, Jr.
