Sorry, Mr. Lucas, but even a relatively conservative approach to constitutional interpretation like liberal originalism would note that, in the prologue, "we the people" are invoked, nobody else, and they're the ones who are proposed as securing the blessings of liberty.
Next, and while unsure of Morris' background, one would take note that Washington, the first president and president of the Constitutional Convention, was a Deist and not a Trinitarian Christian. So, even if god was being, subtly, invoked as the source of the blessings of liberty, it wasn't necessarily the god in which Mr. Lucas believes.
