Interesting quotes from some founding fathers listed below. Of course they don't teach this in school. I recall my teacher claiming that many of these men were non Christian or atheists.
You know liberals used to love Jefferson. I guess not so much anymore.
"The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity."
– John Adams
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
– John Adams
"Oh, eternal and everlasting God, direct my thoughts, words and work. Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the Lamb and purge my heart by Thy Holy Spirit. Daily, frame me more and more in the likeness of Thy son, Jesus Christ, that living in Thy fear, and dying in Thy favor, I may in thy appointed time obtain the resurrection of the justified unto eternal life. Bless, O Lord, the whole race of mankind and let the world be filled with the knowledge of Thee and Thy son, Jesus Christ."
– George Washington, Prayer
"Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.”
– Benjamin Franklin
"God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever."
– Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson Memorial
"The Christian religion is the best religion that has ever been given to man."
– Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson Memorial
