If you'll read the letters of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, you'll learn that they were secularists, neither were religious and certainly not Christian, and it was difficult for them both, to deal with 'Christians', and lamented in their letters to one another, having to do so.
Some founding fathers did not even recognize the existence of Jesus, as their fellow lodge members, today, also do not recognize.

They were a varied lot.  Jefferson wasn't totally averse:

The Jefferson Bible - The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth
https://thejeffersonbible.com
The Jefferson Bible The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth was created in 1820 by Thomas Jefferson. He was seventy-seven years old when he constructed his book by cutting excerpts of the New Testament Gospels from six printed volumes published in English, French, Latin and Greek.

We're terraforming Terra.
It turns out half the effect is from CO2 and the other half due to the increase in water retained in the atmosphere.

The soviets have been terraforming since the 1950s. They divert rivers, drain lakes to make deserts more farmable.
