Christians should know, and it's clear from the bible, that you don't need to be religious to have a conscience and set of morals. That's because their doctrine tells them we were all made by the same God who place that in our hearts.

Having said that, the Jesus Difference (see my post on it) makes it pretty clear that Christ goes an extra step beyond the established morals of secular society, Christ leads to something more akin to the child in us (believer or not): some aspirations that are impossible and more in the realm of ideals. Only thing is, Jesus promises to accomplish them in us.

As for the foundations of American society, it would be difficult to deny a certain christianity to them, as well as many other colors of faith and thought. Reason being, as a society, it was the people who upheld the leadership and, of these folks, many held christian morals as their guides.
