Regardless of what they believed, the country was not founded on any specific God.

It was founded on God the Creator. Which, when you think of it, is a pretty generic term for the creative/sustaining Divinity of universal human history and culture, of philosophy and myth of all times — up to the "post-modern."

Sure, even Hindus believe that. They are not Christians. Obviously the Founding Fathers did not want to identify the Creator with any specific God. They didn't want this country to be founded on Christianity or any other specific (organized) religion, and John Adams makes that very clear in his opening statement of his letter from 1797.

They were not against God; they just didn't want any specific God to be identified with the country they were proclaiming or the government they were about to form.
