As to the Constitution, you might want to read the book Moral Minority, a book exploring exactly how "Christian" the founders and Constitution authors really were. Short answer: They weren't. The Constitution was a document that allows people to abandon religious tradition in the new secular realm they were crafting, something completely new and untried in an age when rulers were generally tied to the will of god for the right to keep ruling.
