It's important to hold facts in historical context. You have to examine the role of religion at the time. Shoot, not really any different today. Can you imagine someone running for President saying "you know, I don't go to church. Shoot, I don't really believe in God". No way he would get nominated, let alone elected.
I'll stand by this- take any number of quotes from our founding fathers and ask if they could be elected today. Are we holding thier ideals true?
