Probably has a lot to do with the reality that the Founding Fathers, rather than being a bunch of 18th century Christian fanatics, were Enlightenment Era liberals who believed that the course for America should steer as far away as possible from the mistakes that England had made, particularly with the fact that head of state was also the head of the state religion.
Well, some were 18th century Christian fanatics. Had quite a broad range of views between them.
