Are you kidding me? That was quite a common way of stating the date in that era, and if anyone’s basis for claiming this is a Christian nation is a date line in the Constitution, that’s pretty weak.

Why say “Our Lord” if they didn’t believe in Our Lord? There were other ways of presenting dates available at the time. See the Declaration of Independence.

The post I responded to said that God is mentioned exactly zero times in the Constitution. “Our Lord” is an obvious reference to God. God is mentioned in the Constitution.
