Personally wouldn't refer to either the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution as Christian documents.
Maybe Christian-influenced documents (maybe), and they do seem to refer to the Christian God, but calling them Christian documents goes to far--opinion.

Where does the Constitution refer to the Christian God?

If they were Christian documents, you’d expect them to use the term Christ or Jesus. Rather, they use the term Creator.I believe the documents were based on Judeo-Christian principles, but do not call us a Christian nation, per se.

I believe they are Christian documents
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
..
With out the Creator whom endowed us with the above listed rights , then who is it that gives us these said rights?
