Jesus Christ is mentioned in the text of the US Constitution, where he is referred to as "Our Lord."
From Wikipedia:
Treaty of Tripoli, Ratified June 10th, 1797, Article XI:
As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
The United States is NOT a christian nation.
