Nice drawing.

My view: while the US Constitution has no direct linkings to God, the measures put into the Constitution do heavily reflect the points made in the Declaration of Independence... which obviously has many religious connotations. The DoI was also the first Act passed by Congress, to argue that the framers of the Constitution were not atleast somewhat influenced by religion, is to be in denial*

The Bill of Rights, also, is heavily based on the natural law. Supporting the natural law doesn't require religion (I support this philosophy, and I am not religious), but many of the arguments made for this philosophy, particularly in the past, were based on religious teachings ("I am made in the image of God, as God is perfectly free, I am perfectly free").

* I'm fully aware that some of the founders, including Jefferson, were not Christians... however, he was a deist.
