"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or to often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."
Patrick Henry
Well PH aside that is completely wrong.
Thomas Jefferson was a deist. He did not believe in any religion but did beieve in God. George Washington was far more interested in Freemasonry than he was in Christianity. The Freemason's "pirate-like" deomcratic outlook on Religion is certainly what the Framers had in mind and if you disagree please look at The Federalist (Papers).
