I've already read their mental gymnastics how America is a Christian country because blah blah blah. They specifically say that treaty that says it's not is a treaty and not part of the US something or other.

What's really fun is that for a big chunk of them, the first three Presidents (at minimum) were not Christian by the definition a lot of them prefer. Washington was a deist. Adams and Jefferson both explicitly rejected the Trinity, which a lot of them hold as being central to the definition of Christianity. Also, Jefferson made his own bible translation that took out the parts he didn't like, and he wasn't coy about saying so.
