The government has lost its way.
Actually, the 1789 constitution was the document that formally declared the national government's independence from God, with its "no test oath" clause. Most of the colonies required aspirants for public office to pledge allegiance to the God of the Bible, and the Bible of God, as a condition for holding that trust. The Constitution recognizes no power higher than itself.
The Reformed Presbyterian Church in the US (RPCUS) had the right idea in 1848, when they first proposed a constitutional amendment to formally place the United States under the sovereignty of the Lord Jesus Christ, even as most of the constituent colonies originally did.
