I never said there was.

I know. Just sayin' is all.

Of course, it is written in pretty explicit English.

Yes, but if the Framers didn't need to tell their readers that English was the official language, perhaps they also didn't have to tell everyone that a government founded by states that were over 99% Christian led by a bunch of guys who spoke repeatedly about the need for religion and morality in government was a Christian government.

Well they were pretty much all protestants, they just didn't want the federal government to be able to set up a state religion, like England, Rome, etc.

They wanted to leave that up to the states if they wished.
