Please review the constitution of the US- no where in it is Christianity mentioned. While States may mention it- and I do not intend to read all the State Constitutions- the States are not the country. The US Constitution is supreme, except where it leaves the power to the States (clearly not in this area).

And do see Amendment 1:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

So while you have the right to your free exercise so does everyone else- of whatever religion, and indeed we have the freedom from religion altogether if we choose this. Many of our founding fathers, Deists, would hardly have been in line with your Christianity. I believe your personal relationship with God would have made you very suspect at the time of America's founding. Heretical. One has to laugh at your harkening back to these forefathers who would have been scandalized by your religion. They would have understood an enlightened agnostic far more easily than an evangelical modern day Christian.
