“Religion is a ritual and something Christians should not even have a part in.”—”our founding fathers”?

Usually that means America’s founding fathers, and what religion are you? I got the impression that you didn’t belong to a religion.

Moses, Abraham, Jacob.

Moses' second wife was a Kushite...and There's NOTHIN' in the OT sayin' that Moses' two wives were simultaneous. (What? Ya got somethin' against serial monogamy?)

As for Abraham...we've had this discussion before Ravenwolf...I showed it all to you then and you couldn't counter it then...as only Sarai referenced Hagar as a "wife"...and she had no authority to do so...Hagar herself didn't...the Angel of the Lord didn't...Abram didn't...Moses the author and/or editor of Genesis didn't...the apostle Paul didn't in his reference to her in Galatians 4... July 13 2013 thread

And, yes, we know Abraham took Keturah as a "wife" in Gen. 25:1 post Sarah's death...tho it is possible that Keturah may have been a "concubine" while Sarah was still alive. But we can't make accusations based upon possibles, can we?

As for Jacob, his polygamy was ushered in by pure deception. Since when is deception to be honored as some cultural redefinition of marriage, which God defined in Genesis 2 and Jesus reiterated in matthew 19?
