It is trivial for me to download a copy of the Constitution and find that
1), God is not mentioned, and therefore was not put in the Constitution
at any point, and 2) specifically, the only Constitutional amendment added in
the 1950's was the 22nd Amendment, which adds the two-term limit on the
presidency, and does not mention God. I do not need to go to law school to
determine this.
