Our nation signed a treaty with Tripoli that states "the government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." Under Article VI, Clause 2, a treaty is part of the Constitution, and thus constitutional law. This treaty was written during Washington's administration, approved by the Senate under President John Adams, and signed into law in 1797. So the law explicitly states that we are not a Christian nation.
