Really? Were those the very same founding fathers that generated the first
oaths of office that all ended with "...so help me God?" Surely they are not
the same ones who instituted chaplains in Congress to, among other things,
open every session of congress. Tell me some were not the same said persons
who signed the Declaration of Independence so full of references to Deity
and considered the first legal document of our country.

You should learn something about American History sir.
American history has been a passion of mine for some time. I am well aware
of the various religion faiths that came here to flee persecution.
The fact is that the Constitution is completely free of religion
references
except two phrases that both use exclusionary wording. If the founding
fathers intended to base the government on religious principles then those
principles would have been written into the Constitution. They were not.
They intended the government to be completely secular.
