The majority of the Founding Fathers were not Christians in any tradition Mr. Moore would recognize. They were Deists....
Deism is generally described as "Deism (Listeni/ˈdiː.ɪzəm/[1][2] or /ˈdeɪ.ɪzəm/) is the belief that reason and observation of the natural world are sufficient to determine the existence of a Creator, accompanied with the rejection of revelation and authority as a source of religious knowledge.[3][4][5][6][7] Deism gained prominence in the 17th and 18th centuries during the Age of Enlightenment—especially in Britain, France, Germany, and the United States—among intellectuals raised as Christians who believed in one god, but found fault with organized religion and did not believe in supernatural events such as miracles, the inerrancy of scriptures, or the Trinity.[8]" (taken from Wikipedia which is not an original source but good enough for our purposes)
U.S. Declaration of Independence (excerpts)
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
(end excerpts)
Note the use of Laws of Nature and Nature's God and the word Creator. Nowhere is there any reference to God, Christ, Jesus or anything similar. The Founding Fathers who prevailed in the creation of these momentous documents were not Christians in the mold of Mr. Moore or his ilk.
The Preamble to the Constitution.....
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,[note 1] promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
I see no reference to God, Jesus, the Christ or anything here.
Mr. Moore has created a fantasy world in which the Founding Fathers were fundamentalist Southern Baptists. They weren't. We know that these were learned men, men of the Enlightenment, who were committed to the laws of Nature. They did not reject the notion of a Supreme Being, a Creator, but in no public document did they ever refer to "God", Jesus, the Christ, etc.
So if there is someone who is kidding himself it is Mr. Moore.
