The point of the book is that although the Founders were divided on the role of religion in government, Thomas Jefferson (among others) was definitely against any such involvement, and the god mentioned in the Declaration of Independence is not Huckabee's Jesus. He makes the excellent point that America was founded on the concept of self-determination and freedom, not religous tradition of any sort. If this has worked well for the past couple centuries, it should be good enough for a few more.
