It's very similar at that point, yes. I saw that. None the less, the preamble is without question not just religious, but explicitly Christian—Catholic, frankly given the Trinity reference (ex-Catholic here (1/4 Irish, too, great grandfather born there)).
So, your constitution is certainly less secular than ours is.
I know that religious types in the US frequently try and bring up the Creator references in the Declaration of Independence as somehow meaningful in pitching their preferred mix of religion into state. Gets shot down of course, because the Declaration doesn't really matter. They'd have far more ammunition if that language was in the Constitution, however.
