Bullshit revisionist historians. Our most prominent founding fathers were Deists. Which is basically that they believed in A God. But that God has no basis in any earthly religion.

The First Amendment
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...”

don't forget that madison (i think) in the treaty with tripoli (circa 1800, i believe) states that the US is not and was not founded as a christian nation. (anyone want to find it exactly?)
also, even if 100% of the country indentified themselves as christian, there a lots of different sects and none of them are recognized as the official religion of the country, therefore we are not a christian country.
