The issue should be regarding a mix of "church" and "state". Even the signers agreed to this. In reference to the phrase "the year of our Lord", this is directed toward the start date of the Julian and Gregorian calendars, which are supposed to be coordinated with the death of Jesus. The years counted by this means are generally referred to as Years of the Lord. ...Or so it was until a few PC years ago. I know that churches and persons who follow the Christian faith still refer to dated years and “Year of our Lord...” In this context, however, it is not the word “Lord” which argues against the Constitutionality of the Constitution itself, but rather the word “our”, which could be skewed into a complaint that it forces one to call Jesus to actually be his/her Lord.
