Well most of the Founding Fathers were Unitarians, Deists and Secular Humanists. Jefferson had several corespondences were he states that he does not believe in a God or does not believe one exists. In others he takes a more deist approach stating that God does not interfere in Human affairs. Though he did go to an Anglican church for most of his life he wouldn't be looked upon by many of the bible-thumping fundies of today as a Christian.

Ditto for many of the other statesmen who founded America or many of the great Enlightenment thinkers.
