China: the Tang code - AD 624 Babylon: Code of Hammurabi - 1750 BC

The first Magna Carta was a political document. It was an attempt to forge an alliance between a king and a number of barons who distrusted him. It was written by an archbishop who of course would mention God.

God is named 5 times in the Magna Carta:

by the grace of God

KNOW THAT BEFORE GOD

to the honour of God

WE [that is, King John] HAVE GRANTED TO GOD

WE [King John again] HAVE GRANTED ALL THESE THINGS for God

They are acknowledging their deity. If there is any credit given to him for this deal I did not see it.
