God is only mentioned in the Declaration of Independence but with a modifier of “Nature’s God.” That would imply a deity or a generic vision of a god of nature. More specifically it is also contrasted with science with “Laws of Nature”:

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

God is not present in the US Constitution.
