Did America's Founding Fathers forget to mention God?

Today I read this bit of wisdom in the Star Tribune:

The Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and correspondence from signers of the Constitution strongly indicate a belief in the existence of God.

Interesting. Now the writer may have a point about the Declaration of Independence (although references to a "Creator", and the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" seem designed more for rhetorical flourish than to acknowledge a personal savior), and the signers' personal correspondence is, well, personal. But when it came to the public assertion of the powers and limitations of the new federal government, the founders were pretty clear.

Here, take a look at the U.S. Constitution and count all the references to God. Really, I'm not going anywhere. Have a look. Let me know when you find something.

Nothing? Well, maybe you'll have better luck with religion? It took you a while! Article VI! You need to go all the way to Article VI before you run into any reference to religion?! And even then it's not exactly what you had in mind is it?

... no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

Well, at least the document was signed in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven. I guess that's something.

People, before you go spouting off about what the Constitution says or doesn't say, maybe you should read it.
