Which God was that. The one that Jews worshipped or the Trinitarian
God that some but not all Christians worship or the deistic God of the
Enlightenment, more symbol than entity, worshipped by people like
Thomas Jefferson that considered Christ an ordinary human and moral
teacher, and all the supernatural stuff to be metaphor or hogwash.

Not necessary. It is merely sufficient to note that several did not
attribute to the God of the Bible the nature that you attribute to
him. (Moslem consider that their God is the same God as the one in
the Bible, though). It is also worth noting that despite the
occasional reference to God, you haven't been too successful at
finding places where the founders mentioned Jesus. That YOU think a
reference to God includes Jesus doesn't mean that they did.
