Look, you really don't know what you're talking about.

You've confused John Adams letter to the Mass militia as "all of the founders of this nation stated that only a Christian could be qualified to hold office".

No founder ever stated such a thing, and I challenge to find a quote showing such from one Founder, much less "all of the Founders".

Thomas Paine openly mocked Christianity, and both Ben Franklin and Jefferson did not believe in the divinity of Jesus. That alone proves you wrong.

There were State Constitutions that had religious tests, but I'm not bound to any state constitution that contradicts the US Constitution.

A religious test in this country is ILLEGAL and UNCONSTITUTIONAL. No amount of playing make believe will change this.

Your ignorant and false statements prove nothing but the fact that you lack even a basic education in American history.

As for franklin, he toured Europe after the constitution was ratified, and repetedly stated that the nation had thereby been founded on the Bible. And the myth that Jefferson rejected the diety of Christ is completely without written proof, and is disproven by the volumes of his sermons delivered during the worship services he held in the Capitol every Sunday for several years.

Why am I sure that you haven’t read a single one of them?
