It can't be called influence, Satan ordered them and they followed. They were too obedient.

No one MADE them. They had the foresight to understand that it would be better for everyone to establish a sectarian government, not one based on religion.
Some of the principals of the constitution are founded in some religious based ideas, but religion, per say, is not part of the constitution. Puting it there would have made this a weaker country. Many conservatives will disagree very strongly about this, but it is true.
Some of the life beliefs that some of the religions profess are good. Some are also bad. Doing the right thing is not always only because of religion. Some of us try to do the right thing, because it is the right thing, not because a religion tells us it is.
There are agnostics and athiests who are great people. There are some who are extremely religious who are terrible people. Religion does not automatically make one either good or bad.

No one made them do it. The Constitution is just that. The rules set down to govern this country. There is no place for mentioning God or any other thing of a religious nature except in the 1st Amendment.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
However... God is mentioned several times in the Declaration of Independence.
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
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.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Yes.He and the wicked witch of the west all got together and decided that they had the time and interest to care about what the Founding Fathers were doing and so they chained them up and made them watch Pat Robertson sermons until they agreed to not mention God.

The same number of states or populists who didn't want the issues of Slavery in the constitution. I beleive the number of states is 4 or 5.

Nobody made them. Only fantasists believe in conspiracy theories.
Whether God exists or not the US was founded by men for men. Not by religion or God or any other thing. It was real life.

Because they, unlike some people in the world today, knew that times would eventually change and god would not always be important. Shows how intelligent they really were back then =)

Actually, it was Thomas Jefferson, who was famous for his resistence to the Christian faith. It took a vote of Congress to add a reference to God ("with a firm reliance on Providence") to the Declaration of Independence.
Jefferson also founded the Unitarian religion and rewrote the Bible.
Tried to keep God out of everything that he could....
