tried to explain to her that most of the founding fathers were Deists and not Christians
This really isn't accurate. Several of the more prominent ones were deist and that fact is mistakenly used to suggest the majority were.
But let's say for the sake of argument that you were correct, what did the founding fathers intend? I suggest they thought there was no need for an over-bearing government because the majority of citizens were God-fearing and did their best to live what they believed to be moral lives.
