Joe :
I'm not sure if you mean Why not, or How not. The how is easy - nothing in the documents that define our government mention Jesus. In fact, a religious test for office is expressly forbidden. As to why, our founders had seen European countries where the church and the seats of power were intertwined, and they knew how bad that was. The US was founded on the idea of freedom. And as America has grown since then, and welcomed people of all faiths (and no faith), it is the dedication to freedom that binds us - not religion.
