Separation of church & state or God in the Constitution? Ohio’s Constitution specifically acknowledges our God, our Lord, and our Blessings (which come from God). The Ohio Constitution begins: Preamble. We, the people of the State of Ohio, grateful to Almighty God for our freedom, to secure its blessings and promote our common welfare, do establish this Constitution. And the people of Ohio also included a traditional right: Art 1, §7 All men have a natural and indefeasible right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own conscience.
