I'm not an atheist no. But it's bullshit to say there's freedom only for Christianity, and that there must be Christianity in the government. Christianity is nowhere mentioned in the documents, and the founding fathers were very intentional and precise in their formatting of the constitution. If they wanted a guarantee for Christianity to be the one truth, they would have mentioned it.
There is no room in a free country for a "one true religion". If you want religion in government, you'll have to make room for others. If you want to claim "oh that's not what they meant it was quite different back then" then you'd have to concede the same way for the right to bear arms to be limited to muskets and nothing modern. That's not freedom.
It was self-evident that it is the one truth. The confusion we have today is due to the deterioration of American culture.
The government back then was Christian. No one was thinking about Islam, Buddhism, or anything else back then since everyone was some variant of Christian.
You are just taking your modern view and pretending like they shared it at the time of the country’s founding.
It's not self-evident, no. And regardless, we don't need a nanny state telling us which religion is "the one humongous holy beautiful big truth" if it actually is the one truth.
