What is the thesis of the novel Founding Brothers?
First, Joseph J. Ellis's book, Founding Brothers, is not a novel. It is a non-fiction account of the interrelationships of various Founding Fathers over certain specific issues during the time of the creation of the United States of America. We refer to men like Washington, Adams, Franklin, Jefferson and others as "Founding Fathers" because they are from prior generations. But during their lifetimes, they were of the same generations just like brothers are. The book goes into several topics where the "Founding Fathers" had some strong differences of opinion and even fought amongst themselves in much the same way that brothers argue over matters within their families. The Founding Fathers were certainly not all of the same political mind, even though it might seem that way to us now.
Why might the Founding Fathers best be described as Founding Brothers?
They can be referred to as Founding Brothers because they had relationships, good or bad, friendly or unfriendly, politically agreable or disagreeble, with one another, just the way brothers in the same family do. We refer to the Founding Fathers as Fathers, because they are from generations before us, whereas, amongst themselves they were of the same generation. And they had their fights just ans brothers do. I recommend the book "The Founding Brothers" by Joseph J. Ellis for interesting accounts of the political and personal interactions between several Founding Fathers. Examples are Jefferson and Adams, how their friendship turned sour over political differences, especially as Jefferson and Madison worked behind the scenes to unseat Adams as president, even though Jefferson was Adams' vice-president. Once they were both out of politics they revived their friendship. George Washington and the Republicans under James Madison and how they tried to undermine Washington at the end of his second term. The deal between Madison and Hamilton whereby the nation's capital would be located in a southern state (Madison's desire) in return for the US adopting the debts of the individual states (Hamilton's desire), which was made possible by Thomas Jefferson inviting both of them to dinner at his house. And the Great Silence, as Ellis puts it, whereby the Framers of the Constitution realized there would be no agreement on abolishing slavery, so they wrote the Constitution in such a way that it forbade Congress from doing anything to act on slavery for twenty years.

Why are pyramids and mystic or religious artifacts printed on American currency?
The pyramid to which you refer is part of the Great Seal of the United States. The pyramid is unfinished, symbolic of a country still being built. Above it is the Eye of Providence, no doubt the "mystic or religious artifact" mentioned in the question. See the related links section for more information. Religious items appear in iconography of the United States of America because the founding fathers were predominantly Christian, or at least had a respect for freedom of religion; this is in spite of modern revisionist history that seeks to deny these truths. Some of the founding fathers were also members of Masonic societies, so that symbolism appears as well.
