Well it may have been lip service, but the United states was founded on principles of freedom and equality, at least for those people that were deemed deserving of it at the time.
While it's true that the lords prayer has been recited in US schools in the not too distant past, notions of freedom of, and more importantly freedom from, religion have been present since the adoption of the first amendment in 1789.
