This country was not founded on a belief in God. It was founded on a belief in Freedom from England. "No taxation without representation." There is no God in that sentiment. If you re-read that Declaration of Independence, it gives the list of all the reasons that this country was founded. It goes into quite some detail. It's mostly trade issues and taxes and stuff like that.

Perhaps you are thinking of the founding of some of the former colonies? They were founded on religion. But this country was not.
