"Take away God, and the Constitution is meaningless."
The Preamble for the Constitution states:
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. "
These are the principles on which the justification for the existence of the Constitution is based. God is not invoked. Earlier documents that invoke God are not referenced. God is not mentioned in the Constitution. The only authority mentioned, or apparently needed, are "We the People". So, I don't see the logic of your statement.

Search on my handle and read some of my other posts. I'm sick of typing it.
