Suppose the Preamble of the Constitution were altered to this by the end of 1864.
"We, the people of the United States, humbly acknowledging Almighty God as the source of all authority and power in civil government, the Lord Jesus Christ as the Ruler among the nations, His revealed will as the supreme law of the land, in order to constitute a Christian government, and in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the inalienable rights and the blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to ourselves and our posterity, and all the people, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America"
How significantly would this change the legal law in the United States, if at all?
To be clear, despite the POD being in 1864, I wish to look at this from a Post-1900, Modern Legal Perspective, given any such effects would be most felt then.
