Most of the founding stock were Christians. Most of the Founders were not.

And the Constitution is not a Christian document.

And the Constitution is not a Christian document.

Disingenuous.

The Government is not a Christian government. That is understood.
But when people say "nation", the traditional meaning of that word is "people". The people who lived in the 13 colonies were Christian. The nation was Christian. The government was established for reasons of liberty. The government was not focused on "being Christian". But the nation surely was.

Not true that most founders were not Christian.

Sorry but most of the founders were Christian. A hand full were deists. Most notable was Franklin and Jefferson. Name the founders who weren’t Christians.
