It is contended by many that ours is a Christian government, founded upon the Bible, and that all who look upon the book as false or foolish are destroying the foundation of our country. The truth is, our government is not founded upon the rights of gods, but upon the rights of men. Our Constitution was framed, not to declare and uphold the deity

Brilliant Quote. Thank you.

I would go as far to say that the country was founded on the principle that the Divine wants us to be free and equal (the famous passage describing the inalienable rights endowed by the Creator). The Declaration of Independence contains some pretty powerful words for those times (and their resonance can still be felt in modern times).
