"Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth. In Witness whereof We have hereunto subscribed our Names."
Besides, "The Year of our Lord" was a standard way of dating documents in the 17th Century, its was not religious, it was ritualistic. Beyond using "The Year of our Lord" as a way of dating the Constitution, their is nothing in the Articles or Amendments that have anything to do with God or Jesus. Our Founding Fathers were deists, not Christians.
@Timebomber I'm looking at a website now that lists religious affiliations of them.Out of 204, 88 were Anglican/Episcopal, 3 were Catholic, 7 Quaker, 3 Unitarian, and the rest were some form of Protestant. Jefferson went back and forth between Christianity and Deism. It would seem Deists were in the minority, perhaps falling in the Unitarian category.
Article VII: The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same.
Where does it say anything about Jesus being 'our lord'?
