Was America founded as a Christian nation? No. Don't be stupid.
Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli which was approved unanimously by Congress contains the exact phrase "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..."
The Constitution says clearly that it favors no religion over another and that Congress can't make any laws restricting or favoring any religion.
There's some more; go to the website mentioned above for all the details.
Also see this page for some satirical humor.
