No document verbalizes US obedience to the diety. There may be general pietistic references to the diety in some documents made for the sake of the formalities of the era, but there was no strong agreement among the framers of the Constitution on such a statement. If there were, what did the founders mean by "We The People"? There are no provisions for checking with the teachings of a deity before ratifying or amending the Constitution.

Why can't it be said that the Constitution is a living document?
Of course the statement "the constitution is a living document" is metaphorical, since no document is living, it's a piece of paper with writing on it. As a metaphor, this statement would suggest that the constitution remains relevant and connected to the society which it helped to establish in the late 18th century, which is a long time ago. If you think that the constitution has become irrelevant, then you would say that the constitution is not a living document. Personally I find it to still be relevant.
