The Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson, a deist, who also produced the Jefferson Bible, created by literally cutting out all the mystical woo from the New Testament and pasting the remainder onto pages.

I can say with some confidence that nobody considered either the Declaration or Constitution as "religious" at the time.
