The first constitutional congress ever held was a 2 hour Bible study and prayer feast. They honed in on psalms 35 and that would be the prayer that rang around every colony when declaring independence from England.
This country was absolutely founded on Christian principals. You need to learn your history.
Religion may be flawed but Jesus was not. In fact it was religion that killed Jesus.
Jesus's life, death, and resurrection was prophecied thousands and hundreds of years before his birth. Even the method in which he would be killed was prophecied before crucifixion was even invented.
Read Isaiah 53
But He was pierced for our offenses, He was crushed for our wrongdoings; The punishment for our well-being was laid upon Him, And by His wounds we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5 NASB2020

Written 750 years before Jesus' birth and our oldest manuscripts, the dead sea scrolls, have proven this was not altered in any way.
The good news about all of this is that not only is there a God, but there's a God who loves you more than you can possibly imagine.
Christianity is as perfect as Jesus Christ assuming you define Christianity as actually following Him and His word as opposed to following a bunch of corrupt men's will who twist it for their own reasons.

Based take, based username, based handshake.
Love to see it!
Who cares? Christianity is as flawed as every other organized religion out there. Even the smartest among us adhere to superstitious BS.

What's up with all the death? The fear motivated coercion via the concept of Hell? Worship me or I'll burn you forever!!!!
Sounds like a great guy! Where do I sign up? LOL
Few FF had a problem with a state religion, they had a problem with a national religion. The debates and state constitutions make this clear.
Interesting how you missed mentioning the biggest religious movement of the time and its leader; and how his fad quickly died out.

Does this show "decisively that the United States was founded not on Christian principles at all but on Enlightenment ideas?"
Or is your book conflating zeitgeist with substance?
