Be careful how you use the word "GOD". The founding fathers were deists, not Christians. When they mention "GOD" they mean a creator, not the god of Christianity.
Furthermore, the laws and rights outlined in the Constitution have their basis in English Common Law which derived from Roman Law and Natural Law, both of which predate Christianity.
So no, the Declaration and Constitution were not based on Christian law.
