Zanzibar, Zanzibar,
Zanzibar is very far
You can’t get there in a car
It’s too far to Zanzibar
Zanzibar, they don’t have tar
To put on roads to drive their cars
Men and women smoke cigars
There’s no tar in Zanzibar
In Zanzibar, they grow cloves
What they’re for, I don’t know
Maybe they put ‘em between their toes
In Zanzibar, they grow cloves
In Zanzibar, they grow ground nuts
People who grow them live in huts
In Zanzibar there’s sugar cane
To grow it they need lots of rain
In Zanzibar, they grow tea
Far away across the sea
Off the coast of Afriki
In Zanzibar, they grow tea
Zanzibar, Zanzibar,
Zanzibar is very far
You can’t get there in a car
It’s too far to Zanzibar

When the founders refer to "God" or "Providence," they're talking about a God of their understanding; not unlike in all the recovery programs. In those groups they refer to God constantly, it doesn't mean they know the true God or understand the gospel. I've been in recovery programs where they say it doesn't matter; the God of your understanding can be a lamp post, so long as it's your higher power.
The first arrivals in the "new world" were Christians; but they weren't the ones who ended up deciding how the new nation would be governed. Those people's ideas about God were all over the place; and they clearly had no intention of founding another nation ruled by a Christian monarch.

This is so patently apparent only delusion can keep someone from seeing it. Perhaps it's because of the systematic conditioning in our currency, our patriotic songs, our education system and the myths of the beginning of our country.
Ironically, many US Christians equate democracy with Kingdom living, as if God awaits our input to govern. At the governmental foundation of the US is the rejection of the rule of a monarch. It's a wonder why US Bible do not forbid the word "king" to describe Christ.
