Every President with the exception of I think only two have been religious.
Does your official currency not have written "In God We Trust" upon the back of it?
Where is this inherent seperation you're speaking of?

"Under God" was put into the Pledge in 1954 by Congress after pressure was put on them by the Knights of Columbus.
"In God We Trust" didn't appear until 1864 when it was put on the 2 cent coin due to increased religious sentiment during the Civil War.
The Founding Fathers had nothing to do with this religious crap.
