Actually he didn't. The belief that the US was founded as a Christian nation is a fallacy and ,in fact,it never was Christian except that most people were Christian. There is not one word in the constitution about Christianity nor is it mentioned in the Declaration . The declaration refers only to "nature's God". The founding fathers expressed doubts about Christianity and studied other beliefs. Jefferson believed in God and considered himself a Christian but he seemed to reject the divinity of Christ. He even went to the extent to rewrite the bible. Ethan Allen derided Christian revelations as deceptive or "spurious"and Thomas Paine condemned the "monstrous belief" that God had ever spoken to man. George Washington never mentioned Christ in any of his writings and he was a deist. It wasn't until Lincoln that God was used in a presidential speech.
