>Most were deists.

Hardly. Out of 250 signers and/or ratifiers of the Constitution, maybe 7 could qualify as deists. M.E. Bradford did the best study on this issue, examining all of the personal and public papers of all the men involved with Constitution. It is published under two titles, A Worthy Company and Founding Fathers.

>The philosophy they promoted in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights had very little to do with the bible or Christian philosophy.

The most quoted book during the Constitutional debates was Dueteronomy. The Declaration is based on a Hugeunot bill of protest against the French king.
