Well, we live in a country with representative government, not a theocracy.

True, but as our country was founded by people fleeing religious persecution, one can’t help but think that they were, more moral and closer to God than we are today. Their representative government was made up of Godly men. Today, not so much.

Yes they certainly were godly men and women, and a fair amount of the persecution that they were fleeing came from state religions. Fleeing for their lives from any religion, much less from fellow Christians, made an impression, and so we have a separation of church and state in this country.
