re: Do you believe that the United States was founded as a Christian Nation?

If you read the private letters of the founders as well as their speeches there are constant references to "God" and "Providence (God)". Not a lot of "Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior."
This is also true of the letters we have from Civil War era correspondence. Centenary College was founded as a Christian School in 1825. (if you consider Methodists to be Christians); yet when class was canceled due to the Civil War the minutes of the last faculty meeting said "God Help the Right."
It did not say "Jesus Help the Right."

"The general principles, on which the Fathers achieved independence, were the only Principles in which that beautiful Assembly of young Gentlemen could Unite, and these Principles only could be intended by them in their address, or by me in my answer. And what were these general Principles? I answer, the general Principles of Christianity, in which all these Sects were United: And the general Principles of English and American Liberty, in which all those young Men United, and which had United all Parties in America, in Majorities sufficient to assert and maintain her Independence. - John Adams
