There was an overwhelming sense of providence that many of them felt, and that's about as far as their religiosity went.

Sorry, I made an assumption. I don't have a particular interest in American history. I didn't know they had broken away from the faith.
But they did believe in God and knew most of "the People" were Christian, right?
And it's not like their belief system was coming out of left field.
Also, by "created the country," I didn't mean the Founding Fathers exclusively. I meant "the People" in general as well. Unless, of course, the Founding Fathers were tyrants.
