Lloyd, you can't find the words God, Jesus etc.. in the Constitution. Not once. You can find it in the Declaration of Independence (written mostly by Jefferson), but not in the context of the Judeo-Christian god.

"The Declaration describes "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God." This nature's view of God agrees with deist philosophy and might even appeal to those of pantheistical beliefs, but any attempt to use the Declaration as a support for Christianity will fail for this reason alone."

Also, there's the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

I'm tellin' ya bud, this christian nation bs is pure revisionism.
