The existence of the phrase "In the Year of the Lord" in the English language proves that the speakers of English have a society and culture that has been influenced by the Christian religion. That is all it proves.

Let me see if I read this right.

Our society and culture was influenced by a religion and that the composition of the declaration of independence and the constitution were also influenced by this same religion. Did I read this right? Not trying to be nasty, just to understand your view.

Yes. Our culture is heavily influenced by Christianity, although somewhat less so now than was the case two hundred years ago.
