It turns out the Constitution did use "Year of our Lord", plus the "and of the Independence" formulation:
done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth In witness whereof We have hereunto subscribed our Names,

But just saying "the year" would be clear enough today, and would avoid any suggestion of being partial toward Christianity. After all, many non-Christian countries also use the same calendar now.
