As you can see, the letter declaring our intention to create a better society does mention God. Well... a generic "creator". Once. And no mention of religion. However the document defining that new society (one that was better vetted, more debated and by definition more enduring) does not. Even once. You can revere the declaration (it's an important document to be sure) but it was meant to a transitory missive. A one-use, informational message. The document meant to define the American way of life, the law of the land and the method of our governance is what you should be consulting when you're attempting to claim an intent regarding the founding of the nation.
