Founded on religious freedom, just not a STATE religion like the Church of England, which was exactly the model that the Founding Fathers were avoiding. BUT...you'd better believe that Christianity was first and foremost in their minds. I was in the historic district in Philadelphia a few weeks back, where the documents that form the basis of our national government were written, and there are paintings and illustrations of those men, in the room that they debated and worked in, all praying before beginning their work.
It's not like George W. Bush is making all this stuff up. And he's no religious kook in the White House...every president has invoked God's guidance and grace for the nation.
I still think that the feds should stay out of marriage "administration", though.
