I left the word "not" out of my post a second ago.
Thomas Jefferson was one of two members of the 52 member Constitutional Convention who did not support the notion that Christianity is ingrained in the common law.
Of the other 50 framers, all of them were active members in their local church. One in particular, Daniel Webster could recite any scripture from the Bible from heart. I forget the exact number, but several of them were ordained ministers of the gospel.

Just playing Devil's advocate. Christianity is one of many influences on the founding fathers but not the chief one.
