No. None of them were references to a Judeo-Christian God. It was Nature's God...the rationalist God of deism. And they were wise enough (as you have mentioned) to keep even ceremonial deism out of the legal Constitution.

Christianity has very concrete and clear premises and terms of reference..."Jesus" being foremost amongst them. The absence of any Christian terms in the founding documents is significant enough one would think...<g>
