Ah, you've found a box to put me in.

most others can appreciate classical thought

What's funny is YOU pretending to appreciate classical Christian thought. Have you forgotten you're supposed to despise folks like Augustine and Aquinas:

The special dispensation that Baptists dont have to draw upon anything but baby Jesus might inform them of all they need to know?

I don't know about any special dispensation, but I do look only to the NT to tell me what Christianity is supposed to be. There's no celibate priesthood there, no pope, etc. I respect Catholics belief, they're fellow Christians but they don't have a monopoly on Jesus.

Like Hari Krishnas, Sikhs & the Taliban ?

Whoops, you calling Christians the Taliban is normal. But aren't liberals supposed to respect Hindus and Sikhs?

Classsical history was & is a standard part of those earlier men's education as pointed out with George Washington's conscious purpose emulating the acts of an early famous Roman Dictator , Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus.

Now you're mixing up classical Christian thought with classical Greco-Roman. Washington did emulate him and Washington's admirers pointed this out and called him our Cincinnatus, but Washington did this on his own. He wasn't trying to consciously copy Cincinnatus. He also wasn't classically educated and had the equivalent of an elementary education.
