"I don't recall reading much about the Founding Fathers invoking Jesus. Lots of references to God, however."

True, they weren't over the top in their respective public evocations of Jesus Christ...

But then again they were consciously intent in maintaining a secular government in the early days, and thus were understandably more reserved about their personal Christian beliefs.

They were wise. Maybe they foresaw 800 posts on a FR thread involving people on the same side politically fighting like cats and dogs over a prayer.
