The best argument is that that passage was drafted by Jefferson and
edited by Franklin - who were Deists!

* Jefferson, as president, rarely attended church services and was
famously  not a member of any Christian church.  Further, in a letter
to John Adams, Jefferson specifically named Conyers Middleton, a
Deist, "... as the basis of my own faith."

* Franklin wrote, "I soon became a thorough Deist" in his autobiography.

So, did the nation's founders create a "Christian nation"?  NO!

The USA was created with freedom of religion by many Christians.  And
some very important Deists ;-)
