The American Constitution: Godly or Godless?

A couple things to think about and/or do beforehand—

·  What if you came across two fellow students engaged in the following argument? One declares that “America was founded as a Christian nation, and its Constitution was written by Christians seeking to apply Christian principles to government.” The other insists that “most of the Constitution’s framers were Deists, and they demanded a separation of church and state because they wanted to keep religion out of the public square.” Both students want to know your opinion on the matter. What do you say?

·  Take a moment to read/peruse the U.S. Constitution with an eye towards identifying any and all religious references (i.e., mentions of God, faith, etc.), explicit or otherwise. Please find a copy of the document here; you should primarily focus on the unamended or original draft of the Constitution.
