And if they were so secular then why is God mentioned in the Constitution

Check again, god is not in the Constitution. You're thinking of the Declaration of Independence. In that case, Nature's God is the only mention with the word "God" and later the word Creator is used, so if we're talking the first god of nature I assume you mean Anu, the Sumerian sun god, who is one of the oldest recorded we have on record and thus the closest to "Nature's God"

and in the original pledge of allegience.

Nope, god was not in the original pledge, that was added in 1954 - http://www.ushistory.org/documents/pledge.htm

The revolutionary war was about many things, namely independence. Taxation and autonomy from the church of England were indeed paramount.

"under god" was not added to the pledge until 1954.
