Many of our Founding Fathers were not Christian and were instead Deists, Unitarians, etc. Should we throw away our Constitution?

Some perhaps, but many? Nah. The majority were avowed Christians, but they did have the ideal of freedom of religion. Historical revisionists have used quotes out of context (made because of their desire for religious freedom) to try to make the claim you repeat above.
