Perhaps they should have imposed a secular religion from the outset, enshrining the values of the day that would bind the union. (entirely compatible and non-interfering with "real" religions which varied from state to state) It's canon would be the Constitution and letters or important writings from the above figures. It's deities would be the Creator, the founders, and figures later canonized. I haven't figured out who the priest class is yet.

This kind of reminds me of the mythologizing of America's founding that was kind of poked fun at in Bioshock Infinite:

Perhaps such a deifying of the founding fathers could have better protected America's ideals in the long run.
So something entirely incompatible with Christianity
