Most of the founding fathers were Paleo-fundies, and if they were alive today, they'd be banned from FR in 10 seconds.

Sorry but most of them just weren't all that religious. Not Franklin, not Washington, and not Jefferson. They weren't anti-religion but they just weren't too religious for the most part.

I'd like to prove you wrong but I cleared my web cache which contained a wealth of links and facts which were nicely assembled by poster "Manny Festo". He's been banned I guess. Shame... another great resource and good conservative. There were 55 founding fathers. You got 2 of them right, but 2 is NOT a majority nor is it typical of the founding fathers. Washington was profoundly religious yet not vocal (private) about it. A lot of nothing has been made about Washington never publically given witness to Christ in church by contemporaneous sources. His writings and speeches, unlike Jefferson, contradict that.
