An interesting factoid, derived from a posting by Bill Federer in "The Moral LIberal" blog. The religious composition of the 55 writers of the U.S. Constitution was:
26 Episcopalians
11 Presbyterians
7 Congregationalists
2 Lutherans
2 Dutch Reformed Christians
2 Methodists
2 Quakers
2 Roman Catholics
1 Deist Christian – Dr. Franklin, who called for prayer during the Constitutional Convention, June 28, 1787.
