It's easy to see you are easily fooled. Just have the atheists send me their dirty money with God on it and I'll be sure it goes to a good cause. You can give up on the US Constitution and move to another country. Is there an Atheistland anywhere?Yours is a common claim of religious extremists. Youāre just another run of the mill religious extremist.
Letās get this straight for the hyper-religious loons. The Constitution is very secular in nature. Not one mention of Christianity. In fact, no mention or reference to any of your gods in the body of the Constitution, which is what I identified for you earlier. Hyper-religious loons like to use the āin the year of our lordā reference but of course, thatās nonsense. A closing salutation of āin the year of our lordā was common for the time. The fact remains, nowhere in the body of the Constitution is there any mention of the Christian gods.

What is the āYear of our Lordā doing on diplomas, government documents, and the Constitution?

As it turns out, the closing salutation you insist was a reference to the christian gods was not intended to be a part of the Constitution.
From the link:
The "Year of our Lord" language is not actually even part of the Constitution itself, which ends at Article VII. The phrase was not debated or ratified by the Constitutional Convention and it seems unlikely that it was even approved by the delegates. In all likelihood, it was a formalism unthinkingly added by the Constitution's scribe, Jacob Shallus. Perhaps most importantly, the language was not viewed as having any religious significance at the time. In short, the "Year of our Lord" phrase appended to the Constitution has no real legal or historical value
