I mean, yes, but the founding idiots were mostly Unitarian, transcendentalist, deists, or some mixture of contradictory beliefs. And these beliefs were not even a reason or justification as to why they did anything. James Madison is especially clear that his goals are to protect the landed class.
I think organized Christianity was still the water they were all swimming in, though, and it doesn’t seem coincidental that it was popular with both the late Roman empire and the kings of the middle ages as an ideological scaffold for a stratified class system.
