Washington was not particularly religious, but he was not opposed to it either.
Adams was a Unitarian who did not believe that Jesus was the Son of God, but he also stated that the Constitution would only work as long as the US remained a Christian nation.
Jefferson was a Deist who believed that God was trhe Creator of the Universe, and then he removed himself from any involvement in the everyday affairs of the world.
Madison was not zealous in his religion, but had few pecularities about it.
I have no handy information about Franklin, but none of this proves that God did or did not guide the formation of our country. He worked through many people who were indifferent at other times. The truth of the matter is that the benefit Christianity provided our country came through the efforts of regular folks, of whom there were millions, throughout the country's history.
