Patrick Henry wrote this in 1776:

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religious, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here."

Founding fathers were all pretty much alike on this: All Christians and quite clear about their beliefs and how beliefs are to be implemented in public life.

Amonst others, strict belief in the Constitution and it's methodology for enacting and enforcing gov't force and powers.
