That is so obvious that the Founders did not think it necessary to explicitly include it in the Constitution. It is a shame that they did not do so.
Our laws and customs are based upon the laws of Moses and the teachings of Christ.

They did not due so because most of the founders were freemasons. Actually Freemasonry and its organization influenced the founding documents to the point that much of the language in the constitution may be found in the liturgies of freem,asonry, which are old testament judeo Hebrew ( not Christian) but not exclusively so. As a universal fraternal order,Freemasonry in 1770 actually included all religions. Today you can find freemason lodges in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea, and the majority of the members are Buddhists.Benjamen Franklin attended Freemason lodges in both Washington and Paris.
So we cannot redefine history completely. The constitution is silent on religion because freemasonry was a secret organization that includes all religion from an Old Testament point of view. Therefore Christ had l ittle to do with itm, except for the fact that the founders were mostly Christian, although men like Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were not conventionally so, during their lives they rebelled somewhat against the Christianity of their own families, preferring to seek a personal path.
So we must remember why the Constitution is silent on Religion.It is much because the secret order of universal fraternity freemasonry, to which most of the founders belonged, wanted to include all of humanity as it was then understood. And they did.But many also believed at the time that slaves and native Americans were not entirely human, but that changed with time and so that is the way it really happened.
The link to Christianity was only part of it, and that because most founders were Freemasons first and Christians second.
