Separation of church & state or God in the Constitution? Kentucky’s Constitution specifically acknowledges Almighty God, our Lord, and our Blessings. It starts with “We, the people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, grateful to Almighty God for the civil, political and religious liberties we enjoy, and invoking the continuance of these blessings, do ordain and establish this Constitution.” It also includes requirements like “Section 232 Manner of administering oath. The manner of administering an oath or affirmation shall be such as is most consistent with the conscience of the deponent, and shall be esteemed by the General Assembly the most solemn appeal to God.”
