You're wrong.
In general, the forefathers of our nation, when mapping out the country, utilized secular principles to found it. See
e plurbus unim, an adaptation of "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of property", etc.
"In God We Trust" didn't come until much later - on some coins due to an unfortunate misappointment of a pro-Christian man by Lincoln in the 1860s, and then on bills as a backlash against 'Godless Communism' in 1956.
Again, this is why I bring up relevance to the conversation. The statement is misguided, unfounded, and patently false - I can see where you got the ideas, but they're interpolation rather than fact.
