I don't agree with your statement of facts. The Supreme Court has never held that all expressions of faith in God should be purged from the public record.

The line that is crossed is the endorsement of one particular faith, which is typically Christianity. But there are cases involving endorsement of other religions, e.g., in the Kiryas Joel case the problem was endorsement of Orthodox Judaism.

I don't believe that government should be involved in endorsement of any particular religion. Expressing a belief in God is not endorsement of any particular religion.

Whether or not you agree with or believe it, my post (and the worthy article which inspired it) quoted some very specific examples of our Founding Fathers' writings - codified in law and preserved for posterity - which did, in particular, raise the Christian religion above all others.

If the Founders of America - the writers, signers, and champions of her Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights - did acknowledge the Christian God above all others, on what basis can you argue that it is now "unconstitutional" to do so - other than that you "don't agree" with the facts? Hardly rational.
