John Adams and John Quincy Adams were Unitarians. So were about half of the founding fathers who came from Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire. Most of the ones from the middle and southern states were trinitarian Protestants of some sort.

Most, Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, Adams, etc, were actually "Diests". Basically sort of agnostic they believed in the christian God but not any particular brand name of religion.

no.
Anglican.
and non christian:
Iroquois to be exact
our democracy, contrary to popular belief was mostly designed by Benjamin Franklin. And he worked with extensively with the Iroquois, studying their government. it is clear from the examination of the two, that the "American" government is basically a copycat version of the Iroquois.
if you are interested please contact me, I can give you an ISBN # with which to use to order a copy of the Iroquois constitution.
happy reading.

From all indications the founding fathers were strategic capitalists.

They were mostly deists, so they wouldn't be considered conventional Christians by today's standards.
