The problem is that it inherently does. You could argue that the founding fathers may have referenced morals from religious texts, but it still doesn't mean morality is strictly biblical because it's not. Morality is innate. There is no specific "principle" that applies only to Christianity, that doesn't also apply to Islam, Buddhism, or simply being human. Furthermore, religious freedom, a principle which we can agree the country was founded on, is not really a principle of Christianity at all, in fact the bible is clearly against it.
