Most of the Founders were Christian and the Framers of the Constitution were strongly influenced by the Bible or authors like John Locke and Montesquieu, who incorporated Biblical principles in their writings on government. However, the Constitution makes no direct reference to God, a fact that Alexander Hamilton regretted. The Constitution specified that there would be no religious test for public office. We must also remember that our second and third Presidents were not Christians, with John Adams a Unitarian and Thomas Jefferson a Deist. There was an attempt after the Civil War to add a "Christian Amendment" to the Constitution, but while it was supported by Episcopalians and Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, and Catholics opposed it, fearing it would open the door to an establishment of a Federal church

However, many of the European monarchies, Britain included, claimed that their king was in power through divine right. Kings were often crowned by Popes or bishops, including in Protestant Prussia and Britain. Depending on the country, Jews, Catholics, Protestants, and nonbelievers were banned from public office. The common law of England and other nations was inclusive of Biblical principles. The American Federal government differed from European countries as it was formally secular, although the Christian influence was pervasive.

You cannot discount the shredding of the Constitution, started with the expansion of Federal authority in the Progressive Era, accelerating at the New Deal and going unabated, with short respites under Reagan and Trump, for 90 years. Even if the Constitution were a covenantal document, the essential abandonment of that document represents its abrogation.
