Can the state acknowledge God?

1. Does this mean that only Alabamans (or states with similar phrases) can acknowledge God since their constitution has that phrase, "invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God?"

2. "Can" "Can the state" versus "Must the state" seems an important distinction. Which does Moore mean?

I read him as asking "can." I read the fed courts as stating Alabama "cannot."
