You are wrong...Most of the founders were deists, not Christians.

Many were deists. But all subscribed to a Judeo-Christian concept of morality, regardless of why.

When we say this was a Judeo-Christian nation, we don't mean that everyone was required to be a Christian or a Jew, we mean that everyone shared an understanding of what is right and what is wrong, and that this understanding came from the Judeo-Christian morality.

Shalom.

Perhaps, but the distinction needs clarification.

Our Government was meant to be a secular one.
A Theoracy was feared more by the founders than a Monarchy was.
