As noted by our so-called Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence -

... all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights...
- and in the US Constitution -
... but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
... Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven ...
Q: So - exactly whose God is being referenced in the House chamber picture?

IIRC, the use of the B.C. and A.D. dating system is not a Muslim (or Jewish) thing and is a Christian tradition.
