No I do not as the US is based in Christian law and within Christianity there are many sects.
There are some 40,000 versions of Christianity. We should be thankful that the founding fathers did not base our laws on such a divisive philosophy but, rather, reason of conscience.

“If I could conceive that the general government might ever be so administered as to render the liberty of conscience insecure, I beg you will be persuaded, that no one would be more zealous than myself to establish effectual barriers against the horrors of spiritual tyranny, and every species of religious persecution.” ~Founding Father George Washington, letter to the United Baptist Chamber of Virginia, May 1789
quote:
“The Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.” ~1797 Treaty of Tripoli signed by Founding Father John Adams
quote:
“Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, then that of blindfolded fear.” ~Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 10, 1787

You really believe that our laws are not based off Christian laws?

You quoted Jefferson who created his own version of the Bible. He would've been never elected nor even supported as a public figure if he ever revealed that he created his own bible.
For the record I am also a Master Mason so I understand what you're angle you are discussing.
