I disagree that a preference to Christianity is clear in the phrase, I can't think of one religion that doesn't have a central god figure.

Buddhism.

Yes.

Constitution framers had no intent of banning the word "God" from public use when they drafted Establishment Clause. If you don't like it, write your Congressman.

How are the thoughts of people 225 years ago relevant today?

If you think they are so irrelevant, Constitution can be amended.
Presumably that he feels that it is better that changes to the Constitution and its interpretation occur via amendment that by judicial rulings.

I'm not quite sure how that is relevant to my point.

But in what way is the way that that term would have been understood in 1787 relevant?
