Pyropappy: before you quote our founding fathers for religious takes, please refer to google: "founding fathers and deism" for the stunning realization that most of them hated organized religion, considered it a dead or dying practice, and deliberately used non Christian terms like "nature's god" and "their creator" in order to downplay god in government as much as possible under the circumstances. Jefferson, the author of the document you quoted, went so far as to hand-cut and re-paste his entire family bible to remove ALL deity references to the new testament, leaving only the tale of a poor but smarter than average carpenter who said some shit and got killed for it.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately you have fallen victim to the progressives deliberate attack to malign our founders and change our history. Check the source material for that stuff, I believe you will find limited use of their actual writings and documents.

John Adams: Signer of the Declaration of Independence, 2^nd President

The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God

Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited. . . . What a Eutopia – what a Paradise would this region be

Samuel Adams: Father of the American Revolution, Signer of the Declaration of Independence

I . . . recommend my Soul to that Almighty Being who gave it, and my body I commit to the dust, relying upon the merits of Jesus Christ for a pardon of all my sins.

Charles Carroll: Signer of the Declaration of Independence

On the mercy of my Redeemer I rely for salvation and on His merits; not on the works I have done in obedience to His precepts.

John Dickinson: Signer of the Constitution

Rendering thanks to my Creator for my existence and station among His works, for my birth in a country enlightened by the Gospel and enjoying freedom, and for all His other kindnesses, to Him I resign myself, humbly confiding in His goodness and in His mercy through Jesus Christ for the events of eternity.

Benjamin Rush igner of the Declaration of Independence

My only hope of salvation is in the infinite, transcendent love of God manifested to the world by the death of His Son upon the cross. Nothing but His blood will wash away my sins. I rely exclusively upon it. Come, Lord Jesus! Come quickly!

Roger Sherman: Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Signer of the Constitution

I believe that there is one only living and true God, existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. . . . that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are a revelation from God. . . . that God did send His own Son to become man, die in the room and stead of sinners, and thus to lay a foundation for the offer of pardon and salvation to all mankind so as all may be saved who are willing to accept the Gospel offer.

George Washington: 1^st President, Master Mason

in his 1^st inaugural address

it would be peculiarly improper to omit in this first official act my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being Who rules over the universe, Who presides in the councils of nations, and Whose providential aids can supply every human defect – that His benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the people of the United States a government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes.

Care for a few hundred more?

The problems this country faces was predicted by John Adams:

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
