That's at the very end and is essentially a boilerplate "In the year of Our Lord."...that's why I said "not in the Preamble or the Body."

Face it, it jumps out of you that the Preamble doesn't mention God or religion in the slightest, considering the time it was written.

It clearly was a very deliberate decision to omit it.

Seeing that each and every State Constitution specifically cannot disagree with the U.S. Constitution in any way, shape or form and each of them were accepted, those 50 acknowledgements do not conflict with the Constitution.
