Where does the Constitution refer to the Christian God?

There's zero reference to Christianity, with the sole mention of any sort of deity of "In the Year of Our Lord 1787" at the end above the signatures, which is pretty much standard document boilerplate for the times.

Is there any other god?

(Deuteronomy 32:39)  'See now that I, I am He,
         And there is no god besides Me;
         It is I who put to death and give life 
         I have wounded and it is I who heal,
         And there is no one who can deliver from My hand.

(Isaiah 44:6)  "Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts:
         'I am the first and I am the last,
         And there is no God besides Me.

(Isaiah 44:8)  'Do not tremble and do not be afraid;
         Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it?
         And you are My witnesses 
         Is there any God besides Me,
         Or is there any other Rock?
         I know of none.'"

(Isaiah 45:5)  "I am the LORD, and there is no other;
         Besides Me there is no God 
         I will gird you, though you have not known Me;

(Isaiah 45:6)  That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun
         That there is no one besides Me.
         I am the LORD, and there is no other,

(Isaiah 45:21)  "Declare and set forth your case;
         Indeed, let them consult together 
         Who has announced this from of old?
         Who has long since declared it?
         Is it not I, the LORD?
         And there is no other God besides Me,
         A righteous God and a Savior;
         There is none except Me.

You may change 'they' to 'it' (the Declaration of Independence), if you want. Though, to be completely fair, to whom do you believe is being made reference with:
"Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of [their] Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth".

It doesn't. Neither does the Declaration.
