America's founders did not intend for there to be a total separation of God and state, as shown by the fact that all 50 states acknowledge God in their state constitutions. >

However, the founders carefully avoided establishing a connection between religion and state.

Religion is manmade; God is not.

God put in man the desire to know and love Him. This is why man is naturally religious. Does it make religion as a whole man-made?

What the Founders avoided is a state religion. Connection between state and religion is obvious from the above. Very clearly, it existed. In fact, it exists whether someone had put it in a constitution or not.
