To put it another way: John Adams recognized that America is not founded on any particular religion. But that it was founded in a system of ideas that finds its root in God, as Christians understand Him

No, but I read his letter form 1797 that says "As the Government of the United States of American is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..."

Then please post the letter so other readers can form their own impression of its meaning.

You rip a phrase possibly out of context, and assert that your understanding of it is the only way it can be understood.

I'm not buying. And talk is cheap. Especially nowadays.

1797 had 365 days in it. On which day did John Adams post this letter? To whom was it written? What was the context?

When you've done your homework, please do feel free to get back to us. You evidently expect your readers to simply accept your "authority" on such matters. But I want to see your evidence.
