You are correct that it was founded by men who were primarily Christian, but you are wrong that it was founded as a Christian nation. In fact, as I have previously noted, the only reference to religion in the original Constitution was to restrict it's use as a test for public office. Our founding fathers clearly wanted freedom of religion, but wanted our Nation governed in a secular manner. As I have stated before, 'We are a Nation of Christians, but we are not a Christian Nation".

Then why did they not insist that the states who had explicitly Christian state constitutions at that time amend them before they could join the United States?
