Separation of church & state or God in the Constitution? Even the California Constitution mentions God and his blessings, starting off with the Preamble stating “WE, the People of the State of California, grateful to Almighty God for our freedom, in order to secure and perpetuate its blessings, do establish this Constitution.”

And we need to remember that the constitution isn’t the only Founding Document. The Declaration of Independence acknowledges God explicitly.
The problem is most do not know what it says and if they do they use different definitions than those of Olde English as the documents were written.
Stephen Smith It’s written in Modern English. You’d be utterly unable to read Old English.
Robert Lang I’ll give you that the switch to new or modern English was completed in the 17th century. Although there are words written then with a different definition then the words used today, but thanks for you input
The first amendment forbids Congress from creating AN establishment of religion. It cannot create a Church of America. That doesn’t mean the nation is antichristian. None of the signers of the Deceleration of Independence were atheists, agnostics or Muslims
Well that would be wrong, it says “in god we trust” on our money. The part they left out is “all others we verify”.
