Jodie, you are spot on about our nation's spiritual roots... among other things. The Founders, who our died-in-the-wool Christian brothers and sisters suspect were all some sort of evangelical-oriented theists, were anything but. They were, in fact, VERY suspicious of clerics and church leaders, whether they were vicars, popes, ministers, rabbis, or imams. Our Founding Fathers and Mothers were spiritually liberal, often not only Desits but Unitarians, Freemasons, or believed in the inner light of Quakerism. In other words, they could not have been further from a fundamentalist, "biblical worldview" of Christianity. Hence their being adamant about separating church and state. Not that they weren't spiritual, in fact, as I suggest in my book America's Next Great Awakening, they were very much on a path infused with the sacred and belief in a higher power. This can be seen in the letters and writings of all the great Founders. My space is limited here, so I will not go too deeply into detail other than to suggest reading my Medium article on these issues here: https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/make-deism-great-again-bed71e5f921c and the book I referenced earlier.
