I'll just, for expediency, ignore that America is predominantly Christian, the Founding Fathers and early Presidents (as well as all current) were/are Christian. I will ignore the fact that our currency references God (Jesus by association). I will ignore Christmas and Easter. I will ignore the mountain of patriotic anthems like "God Bless America," etc.
The 10 Commandments and Moses occupy the central relief on the top of the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as 2 other locations in the Supreme Court building.
I think next you may argue with my contention that the sky is blue.
As to your second question...I lean to the Founders, and I believe this passionately...
