This video is a great resource as he details his own sources that show the in 1776 only 17% of the population was religious.  It also shows how the religious people keep pushing for something that never was due to being taught that lie as a child.  Hell they say my pastor / preacher told me it was a Christian nation, my parents did, my friends knew it was … so it must be.  But no it is a created fiction on the scale of Star Wars, Star Trek, and the Lord of the Ring trilogy.   Great short video to watch.  Hugs
