No, but that's pretty much how many of the framers of the U.S. Constitution saw it; and yet they are now used as an excuse for blurring the lines between government and religion by people who claim that the founding fathers of the U.S. were Christians in the same mold as modern fundamentalists. So it's not a big surprise that these same fundamentalists also seek to blur the lines between religion and science. Maybe it's a skill that requires constant use or it fades.
