The founding fathers -- especially the most important ones, Adams, Franklin and Jefferson -- were, at best, agnostic. None of the men believed that Jesus was the son of "God" -- in fact, there is a great array of letters between Adams and Jefferson covering that very topic, suggesting that it would soon become a backward idea believed only by simpletons. Adams' Unitarian Church now serves as the center of liberal and social justice causes for Boston. His own body is buried underneath it. They now perform gay marriages over it.
I'm sorry, but the founding fathers would have been on the side of the liberal folk (liberal as an adjective, not a noun). That is clear to see in their writing.
