Of course it was founded as a Christian nation, and that fact is as plain as the name of Jesus, which appears MANY times in our Constitution.

Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the twelfth....

I wonder which Lord the Constitution was referring to?

So yeah, Jesus was mentioned in the Constitution. And since they were a brand new nation they could have included him or not (just as in the Treaty of Tripoli that they later rescinded). They chose to include him for obvious reasons. The new nation recognized Christ as Lord

The date was September 17th, 1787 Anno Domini (AD) which is latin for "In the year of the Lord".

You should probably never post again. I'm embarrassed for you.
