Suppose many would be surprized to learn that Voltaire-- the Father of the Enlightenment-- who also had a profound influence on the writers of the US Constitution did not think all that much of Christianity.

“Of all religions, Christianity is without a doubt the one that should inspire tolerance most, although, up to now, the Christians have been the most intolerant of all men” Voltaire
