Yes, and sadly this nation is now under God's judgement... He's allowing us to have crazy people for our leaders who are leading the nation to destruction.
The same thing happened to ancient Israel when they turned their back on the Lord, and eventually this leads to our enemies being allowed to defeat us.
It's a good thing Christians are not to be overly concerned about politics because that is not our mission here on earth.
Sadly, must Christians in the US spend far more time on politics and sports than they do the Great Commission.
Does Bill Federer say in his book that most of the foundation father were deists and not actually Christians?
Like George Washington was not a Christian. We went to a church when he was POTUS and the pastor of that church wrote about how he tried to get George to accept Jesus and get born again numerous times and he always declined.
I think they made a book out of this pastor's writings as other early presidents went to his church as well since it looked good to be seen attending church back then.
There is a lot of false information out there trying to make the founding fathers out to be like they were not Christian. Some of them were not Christian. This is true. But not all of them. There is a great book that refutes Chris Pinto’s film titled, “The True Christian’s History of America.” It is called, “Hidden Facts of the Founding Era“ by Bill Fortenberry.

I would recommend his book on Benjamin Franklin, too. The book is just Franklin’s writings in chronological order with some minimal commentary.
There is another book called, The Re-writing of America’s History.
So there is an agenda to change history. and to erase Christianity from our country.

Here is a snippet from my own write-up:
Between September 19, 1777, and October 7, 1777, the Battles of Saratoga (New York) marked the climax of the Saratoga campaign, giving a decisive victory to the Americans over the British in the American Revolutionary War. Samuel Adams and others recommended that Congress set aside a day for thanksgiving and praise to God and a day to seek forgiveness of one's sins with Jesus (if applicable) so as to give God the glory by the Continental Army's much-needed win against the British in the Battle of Saratoga.
It’s actually documented that the founding fathers told the soldiers to seek forgiveness with Jesus.
But you would not know that if you don’t look for it.
As for George Washington:
Pick up a book about George Washington written during the nineteenth century, and you will probably see that he is described as being a Christian. However, if you pick up a book written in the last seventy years, it will describe him as a Deist. Why the change?
The turning point seems to be a study by historian Paul F. Boller, Jr. entitled
George Washington and Religion. His conclusion can be summarized in a single sentence: To the “unbiased observer” George Washington appears as a Deist, not a devout Christian.
{5} Most historians since Boller accepted this idea and were less likely to assert that Washington was a Christian.
What do we mean by “Deism”? Deism is the belief that God is merely a watchmaker God who started the universe but is not involved in the affairs of humans and human history. One definition of Deism is that “There is no special providence; no miracles or other divine interventions intrude upon the lawful natural order.”
{6}
Was George Washington a Deist? He was not. It is worth noting that even historian Paul Boller admitted that religion was important to Washington as a leader. Boller writes, “he saw to it that divine services were performed by the chaplains as regularly as possible on the Sabbath for the soldiers under his command.”
{7} We might reasonably ask, Why would chaplains be important to a Deist?
Boller even admits there are testimonials of Washington’s church attendance. This is important since many historians even go further than Boller and assert that Washington did not even attend church as a mature adult.
Michael Novak admits that some of the names Washington often used for God sound Deist, but that does not mean that he was a Deist. In fact, his prayers for God’s action were just the opposite of what you might hear from a Deist. Washington believed God favored the cause of liberty and should be beseeched to “interpose” his action on behalf of the Americans. He called for public thanksgiving for the many ways in which Americans experienced God’s hand in key events in our history.
Washington used more than eighty terms to refer to God, among them: Almighty God, Creator, Divine Goodness, Father of all mercies, and Lord of Hosts. The most common term he used in his writings and speeches was “Providence.” When he did so, he used the masculine personal pronoun “he.” Washington never refers directly to God as an “it,” as he does occasionally with Providence. God is personal.
{8)
If we look at the history of the eighteenth century, there were many with orthodox religious beliefs who sometimes used the philosophical language of the enlightenment. Washington was a Christian, even though he often used terms for God associated with Deists.
