I have no doubt that most, if not all, of the Founders were Christians. I also have no doubt that they did not found a Christian nation. There is no single quotation which you have provided, by Washington, Adams, Hamilton or Rush, which states otherwise.
This one comes close:
"It is rightly impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible." --George Washington
However there is no record that Washington ever said it. It's a pity that you have to resort to misquoting Washington to try to make your point.

At worst it is an unConfirmed quote, in line with Washington's general beliefs.
I did not originate the quote. I got it from the bi-weekly publication, The Federalist.
