Adams never said it was founded by atheists--nice try setting up a strawman.

You get confused between a belief in god and belief in religion. Several of the founding fathers were Deists and some were christian as well.

Patrick Henry was a Christian as were others but that has nothing to do with the Constitution which takes precedence over the federalist papers, speeches, letters etc..., as far as the authority. If the US was meant to be theocratic or religious(which is the opposite of secular) then the christians would have made damned sure Jesus' name was in there or something referring to the scriptures.
