Were there Christians in good standing among the Founders? And if so, how would you reconcile that with the assertion so prominent in Smithian Mormonism that Christianity was in a state of continuous apostasy until Smith ‘restored’ Christianity for Jesus, yet Mormonism wasn’t fabricated until the 1830s?

Good standing with whom? There were all sorts who were orthodox, then some who were "dissenters", did not subscribe to the Nicene Creed and thought their faith was the original Christianity. John Adams was in that camp. My favorites among the Founders--Roger Sherman and Fisher Ames--were orthodox.

And if so, how would you reconcile that with the assertion so prominent in Smithian Mormonism that Christianity was . . .

Don't see any need to reconcile it, how I would reconcile it or why I should bother to try. I'm not interested in Mormonism and don't see how it relates to Beck's rally at all.
