The founding fathers were not practicing Christians, a few were deists at the most. The three names you gave I've never even heard of, and neither has anyone else.

here are what the real founders said.

John Adams " The divinity of Jesus is a convenient cover for absurdity"

Jefferson "I do not find in orthodox christianity one redeeming feature".

Madison "These are the fruits (of 15 centuries of christianity) pride, indolence, ignorance and arrogance in the clergy - and in both clergy and laity, superstition, bigotry and persecution"

Franklin (on Jesus) "I have some doubts as to his divinity"
