Our founding fathers by no stretch of the definition were what we'd call
christians today.  In fact, they were deists, not theists.

By the very core beliefs of deism we know they did not and would not seek
divine providence.  Doing so would be completely contrary to their belief
that the supreme being, maker of the universe had not only removed himself
entirely, but intentionally assumed no control or exerted any influence in
the happenings, let alone communicate to the followers on earth should they
bend a knee in prayer to seek revelation.

Do not perpetuate the lies and twisting of history that modern christianity
would prefer.
