You're right. I was mixing it up with the Declaration, which in my mind, goes hand and hand with the Constitution. It's the Declaration that says we are endowed by our, "Creator" with certain, inalienable rights. The Constitution directs how the government should be set up to protect those rights. My apologies for any confusion I caused.
No worries at all. The Declaration is (a very important) rhetorical document, but the Constitution is the legal document which serves as the foundation for our nation.
The closest it comes to mentioning God is in the First Amendment, which provides that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”.
