First, it's hard to separate political from religious. They both have similar elements. Commuist Manifesto is Religious in nature. Replace State with God and Comrade with Brothers and Sisters and you have Born Again communes!
But, the US consitution is neutral. There is a specific element that says NO ONE holding FEDERAL OFFICE has to put their hand on the bible or swear to any book or use the word GOD in order to take office.
You simply have to Uphold the Constitution, so help you!
No religious state or religion is to be recoginezed or given most favored nations status.
As proof of just how well this works, Scientology got declared a tax exempt religion by the US Tax courts and they get the same rights and privillages as Catholic and Protestant and Muslim and Jewish religions.

It is a political document written by men of which some had a definite religious background/history (and after the War; future).

The shape is a-political, it is settlement that spells the out and bounds the powers of the government. the only concern political on the subject of the form, is the politics that tries to interpret it. As for the founders of our united states of america: they could be *somewhat* Conservative by using immediately's standards, greater Conservative then Republicans and Democrats. it rather is sparkling you have little or no know-how of history, no longer extraordinary given our unfavourable education device and the unwillingness of maximum people to examine. I advise you take a seat, enable bypass of the propaganda you grasp to and view the Federalist Papers (and different historic information). study on the subject of the history of this united states of america and those based it.

How do you propose that it could be a religious document? Just because the word God might be thrown in there once in a while?
Political - the founders held a deep belief in a separation of church and state.

There is no mention of God anywhere in it. The Founding Fathers explicitly decided not to make it a religious document.

Political. It was meant to inform the clergy their rule was over if anything religious may be taken from it.
