Certainly the Founders were Christian, and we can follow the letter of what they said -- or we can follow the spirit in which they said it. People came here for religious freedom, in order to worship the way they wanted -- not the way the government told them.

So...you want us to progress past what the founding fathers have established? It is old and antiquated thought that is just not pertinent today? After all, they are "dead" and all that. Additionally, who gets to determine what the "spirit" of their ideas are?
You might be sadly disappointed in your own view if I was the decider.
