I also thing you misunderstood separation between church and state. If the very mention of God was wrong then why is God the Author of the Constitution?
[A dozen or so posts to the tune of "No, he isn't"]
You are ignorant of this. Not me. The Author of the constitution of the United states of America, the Author, why do you think Author is capitalized? It is a pronoun. Who do you think the Author according to our founders was? You are so wrong about this. Look it up.

You know, a lot of words are capitalized in the Constitution that wouldn't be nowadays. Are they saying that Senators and Representatives are gods? (I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be capitalized, maybe they should be?)

Well, if "God" is the "Author" of the Constitution, why was it imperfect thus needing an amendment process? Why was it ammended immediately? (Um..Bill of Rights anyone?) Why does it not state that the USA is a Christian nation? Why does it not legislate mandatory Christian faith? Why does it not provide for the punnishment of those who act in a manner contrary to Biblical law? The questions just go on and on and on.
"Author" is a noun, dear, not a pronoun.

At the point in the English language in which the Constitution was written, Capitilization and font were not as regulated as they are Now . That is why sometimes random words appear Capitalized, in italics or bolded in writing from that period. For little reason, other than because it pleased the guy running the PRINTING PRESS
Nouns were often capitalized (as they still are in modern German).
And this, friends, is why public school, for all its flaws, is occasionally preferable to homeschooling.
That's how people typed these things back in the day. This post is a matter of garbage in (Constitution as divine document, mention of God being wrong altogether), garbage out (this fail of a post).
In Section 8 of the Constitution we find (under the powers of Congress) the power to issue patents and copyrights: "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;" ...
James Madison is god?
