Why is Benjamin Franklin the only non-president on money?
Because even though he was not a president, he is considered one of the founding fathers of the United States. There's no law requiring that the people shown on US bills or coins be former presidents. Alexander Hamilton was never president either and he's on the $10 bill. The practice of featuring presidents became common in the 1920s but before that time many individuals were featured - explorers, scientists, cabinet members, military leaders, even Martha Washington appeared on US paper money.

What factors motivated the Founding Fathers' attitude to religion in the emerging American republic?
Many of the founding fathers were from England or had ancestors from England. At the time, England was having battles over religion. The Catholics and the Protestants hated each other and were more than willing to do battle over that fact. The King of England had established The "Church of England" as the national religion. The founding fathers recognized the error in that action and put into the constitution, "Congress shall make no laws establishing a religion..." or something close. They never wanted to STOP religion, nor did they ever say that states and municipalities couldn't post the 10 Commandments or in other ways support religious belief. They just didn't want the government to establish "The Church of the United States" as an alternate income source for the government.
