You asked:

They want God completely out of the picture. Why?

It is really quite simple. If our RIGHTS do not come from GOD, then where do they come from. The leftist/socialist would tell us (as Bill Clinton did years ago) that our rights come from government. And if our rights flow from government, then what government gives, government can take away.

As long as people believe that our RIGHTS come from GOD, then government cannot take them away. Remove GOD as the source of our rights, and the default position is that they come from government, and therefore they can justify restricting or eliminating them "for the common good."
