No. There is a separation of church and state in the United States. This is on purpose in the constitution. Our founders had lived under a state mandated religion and made sure that we had a secular democracy and the freedom of religion.
The religion?
It would be helpful if you were to tell us which founders you are asking about; many different people have founded many different things, in the course of human history. Possibly you mean the founders of America, in which case the answer is, the religion of the founders was Deism.
The separation of church and state is primarily based on the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits the government from establishing an official religion or favoring one religion over others.

When speaking of the US Constitution, it should be noted that the term of "separation of Church and State" appears nowhere in the Constitution. What the US Constitution prevents is the government from establishing a State sponsored religion or make no laws regarding the establishment of religion nor prevent the practice of a peoples religion. As a comparison at the time of the US Constitution, Great Britain's state religion was the Anglican Church.
The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from interfering with religion by establishing a separation of church and state. This means that the government cannot establish a national religion or impede upon the free exercise of religion by individuals.

The establishment clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution. Congress shall make no laws establishing a religion. The outlawing of the teaching of evolution was religiously based and was found to be an establishment of a religion and thus unconstitutional.
