Abe Lincoln was not one of our Founding Fathers.

It is obvious how you haven't read any of the founding documents. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to type such an idiotic statement. It appears that you are just spitting out what you have learned in your local college class.

Who would you consider to be the "major politicians" of the Revolution?

John Adams (Unitarian, protestant denomination),

Ben Franklin (Christian, shortly before he died he wrote his "creed" which can be found here: Franklin

Thomas Jefferson (Deist, believed in the existence of God by observations of his surroundings. While his thought process may have differed from the other Founders when it came to religion; they all agreed on one thing - freedom of religion. "I am a REAL Chrisitan Jefforson's Deism

Alexander Hamilton (Christian - as writer of 2/3ds of the Federalist Papers, he was the most prominent of the Founders. He wasn't shy about the Lord he served either. Hamiltons Faith

John Hancock (Unitarian as well, professing Christian)

Francis Lightfoot Lee (Angelican, professing Christian)

Those are the few i can name off the top of my head. Feel free to dig around and find a list of the 55 or so and look for yourself. Read letters between these guys - see for yourself man. When you say "this country was founded upon whatever..." exactly what does that mean? A "founding" is "to set up or create, especially with the interest of continued excellence." Well, their faith in a God and Christian Principles is obvious in our country's Constitution.
