The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense

Many Religious Right activists have attempted to rewrite history by
asserting that the United States government derived from Christian
foundations, that our Founding Fathers originally aimed for a Christian
nation. This idea simply does not hold to the historical evidence.

Of course many Americans did practice Christianity, but so also did many
believe in deistic philosophy. Indeed, most of our influential Founding
Fathers, although they respected the rights of other religionists, held
to deism and Freemasonry tenets rather than to Christianity.
