I read somewhere a breakdown between Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians that were the founding fathers.

Note even close. Baptists over 90%.

Don’t try to claim Calvanism was the founding force it was Protestantism.

You "read somewhere"? Yeah, right. Post your citations.

The fact is, Calvinism is Christianity that includes Romans 9 in its Bible; and most of the Founders were overwhelmingly Calvinists.

Not a single singer of the Declaration of Independence was Baptist. By contrast, 49 out of the 56 Signers of the Declaration were covenanted members of EXPLICITLY Calvinistic denominations, who adhered to EXPLICITLY Calvinist Creeds. (For that matter, back then, even most American Baptists were good "Old School Baptist" Calvinists, not modern apostate "New School Baptist" Free-Willers).

"Whatever the cause, the Calvinists were the only fighting Protestants. It was they whose faith gave them courage to stand up for the Reformation. In England, Scotland, France, Holland, they, and they only, did the work, and but for them the Reformation would have been crushed... If it had not been for Calvinists, Huguenots, Puritans, and whatever you like to call them, the Pope and Philip would have won, and we should either be Papists or Socialists." ~ Sir John Skelton
