Thomas Jefferson, along with other founding fathers, considered himself a Deist. An olden-days spinoff of modern day agnosticism, if you will.

The word God never appears in the Constitution.

The phrase "seperation of church and state" was first used by Thomas Jefferson, and then quoted by the Supreme Court. It is not in the Constitution.
