The assertion that our nation was founded on ANYTHING Judeo-Christian is utter bullshit.

*Ahem*
I do believe the quote I, well, quoted said: Exactly, the Puritans didn't "found" the country, it was "founded" by Jefferson, Adams, Hancock, Franklin and others who went to great pains to justify the government on the strength of the people's inherent rights,
not on those rights given by Jesus, Moses or whoever.
Yuppers. That's what was said.
Edit: But ugh... Since we're on the subject... Jefferson called himself a Christian; So too did John Adams. Franklin advocated a faith in God free of dogma and believed that, without religion, man would have no moral compass. But, really, that's off-topic. Best saved for another day, right?
