Fact: most of the founders were mainline Christians. Washington, John Adams, and about 35 signers of the Declaration fit here.

 

Fact: those that were not were mostly Deists, not Agnostic. Payne, Franklin, and Jefferson in particular fit here.

 

Fact: Most people in the colonies at the time were part of the Christian subculture as they are in the USA today.

 

Fact: a country created by mostly Christians is not necessarily a Christian country.

 

And that's probably all I should say on the matter.

No one's denying the religious roots of the founders. But that's different from saying the founders only intended to govern a religious society, that's not even remotely true.
