The Founders were Christian with very few exceptions, and even Jefferson was a Christian deist. Therefore, the intent was a Judeo-Christian culture. The text, particularly the Sunday exception, supports that.

The way the Document reads, a Hindu, a Jew, a Musilim, a Mormon, Christian, etc. will all read it as “their own.”

So very true! The Sunday exception from Article I, Section7:
If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.
Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!
