The first five presidents were not Christian. Deists of that time would be atheists today. They saw no interaction with any deity. Why would you ignore all those quotes above?
George Washington was coerced into going to church by constituents. When there, he did not participate or pray. He refused to see any clergy when he was on his deathbed. His last act was to take his pulse.
It is clear that the founders did not participate in religion as part of their daily routines. They were products of the Enlightenment.
Where did you got the information that "religion itself was much a part of daily life of the Founders?"
