Just FYI
A Quick answer to the question, was the U.S. set up as a "Christian Nation".

One of the items mentioned:
the "prayer" at the end of the Declaration of Independence....WE, THEREFORE, the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor....
others millage may vary.
BTW?
Did they Create a theocracy? Or Assume a Theocracy?
Since they publically appealed to the JUDGE of the World for help? AS representatives of the people of the U.S..
Did it HURT the efforts to mention God?
.....
Seems the 1st part of course makes it clear that the founders felt subject to God's laws in some form or fashion.
...WHEN in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of man- kind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation....
theocracy?
