Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

America is said to be founded as a theocracy since the founding fathers were kind of Christians but were not devouted or were not loyal to Christianity, for example, George Washington was an Episcopalian who attended church regularly, but he refused to take communion or kneel when he prayed, Benjamin Franklin supported the Presbyterian Church all his life but rarely attended services. All that did not mean that they intended the United States to be a theocracy or a Christian nation. Their intentions was to create a democracy governed by the rule of law where God and religion were left to individual conscience.
