However what the Constitution does is explicitly say this is not a Godly country.

Please show me where the Constitution "explicitly" says we are not a Godly country? Because the line you referenced doesn't even mention God, explicitly or other. In case you didn't know it, explicit means, "leaving no question as to meaning or intent." They did not exclude God, because "We The People" are the actions of God; most of these men were Godly men, acting on His guidance and Word. They prayed before every session.

The only thing you have stated is YOUR interpretation and opinion of the first line. That doesn't make it correct. If I say, "I wish you good health." Since I didn't say "God and I wish you good health," does that mean I hope you have Godless health? That is your premise, in this article. Because they didn't specifically mention God, then they were creating a Godless country - that is simply, your opinion, and definitely does not EXPLICITLY remove God from the country or it's founding.

I will state again, nicely written article, but your premise is simply wrong and without merit. Thanks, I have enjoyed our conversation.

“We the people” by its very nature excludes God from government. After all, by saying “we the people” the Constitution tells everyone that governments and power do not come from God but from the people. That ought to be news to Christians, it certainly was in the 18th century.
