Our Founding Fathers declared that America was founded on Christian ideals. Though, providing for the free exercise of religion, we were never meant to become a secularist nation. That is my take.

Just because our founding fathers were mainly christian doesn't mean the nation was set up to be the same. If they had, we wouldn't have been any better than the people we were trying to get away from! (And I think the founding fathers knew that, thus why we're a 'all beliefs and/or none' type of nation'.
Besides, does it matter? Even if we fall away from our roots, thats not always a bad thing. ~shrug~ Thats just what I think though..
