Exactly!!!!

They HAD to acknowledge God in the founding documents and accept subordination of the govt to God (even if in a generic form) if they were to have ANY credibility and garner any support for their final products.

Any weight you put on that silly PRIVATE, non-governmental letter proves you to be totally ignorant on this matter.

So where, other than the date, did they so much as make reference to God in the Constitution?

Really? The Library of Congress seems to feel differently.

Indeed, an 1878 Supreme Court decision endorsed as an accurate representation of the views of the Framers and the FBI was even brought in to perform forensic analysis on the rough draft of the document, finding that Jefferson's original text was even more explicit.
