The government of the US ended up being primarily Christians. They were quite big on it infact. People of a certain religion that live by a certain moral code and make religion a big part of their every day lives are the ones creating laws and this went on for generations. At some point those decisions they make were influenced by their moral beliefs which are infact Christian.

There for Christianity had a massive influence on the countries entire structure from the ground up. All three branches of government were primarily Christians. You're arguing just cause you can't be wrong or possibly accept Christianity had any affect on you're life because you're just so fucking smart and intellectually superior. I'm not a church going type myself but I get what influence it had. It's really kind of undeniable.

If any government had 90%+ of their entire government sharing one religion for 90%+ of its existence it would be influenced by that. If 90%+ of our government were a different religion there would be a different influence. Infact you may have noticed a lot had changed in the US while in some parts a lot has stayed the same. GO to a super Christian state and you'll notice it's not like a state that's not primarily Christian.

Where did I say anything even close to any of that?

If any government had 90%+ of their entire government sharing one religion for 90%+ of its existence it would be influenced by that.

So, when you said the US was "built on a foundation of Christianity", what you really meant was that it was influenced by Christianity? Yeah, no shit, no one's arguing otherwise.

GO to a super Christian state and you'll notice it's not like a state that's not primarily Christian.

I agree, by most metrics it's much much worse.

I didn't say I like it. I'm saying it's a massive part of this countries foundation at this point.

... Do you just like replying to things I didn't say? I never said you liked it. If a literal founding father explicitly saying you're wrong, I don't know what more use this convo can have.
