Not really. Maybe Adams. I guess it depends on what your definition of created is. The Pilgrims were kind of crazy religious folks, but the folks who drew up our founding documents were considered heretics by many. Jefferson disposed of much of the bible and created his own. Franklin was into mysticism. Washington attended episcopal services in Alexandria mostly as a social thing. There was an overwhelming sense of providence that many of them felt, and that's about as far as their religiosity went.
