Was America Founded to Be Secular?

Most of today's liberal/leftists would tell us "Yes!" However, if we study the actual views of our nation's Founding Fathers, we would learn quite the opposite. Watch this Prager U video to learn the reasons why they felt religion was a necessary factor in a free society while being very cautious about not allowing for a government recognized "religion of the state".

As a student of history, I've researched what I believe is the dominant influence of this view by the Founding Fathers; Masonry. To anyone who's studied this topic it is apparent that this organization, which was a prevalent societal influence during the period of the founding of the United States, accepted members into Masonic Lodges around the world without respect to any one particular religion, but viewed all faiths as revering the same universal creator.
