As we could see by the Patriotic t-shirts and US colors amply represented I think the public saw this as a Patriotic event. Most Patriots have a belief in our God and our country connected and founded on that belief.
The problem is as you have stated....additionally my concern of his attempting to unite all religions...though this under the banner of devotion to God...it does matter the God he is referring to.
One of the praying speakers kept praying to Gotz...I am hoping that was simply poor speaking skills but I listened carefully and he continued praying to Gotz.
I am grateful Beck seemed to have galvanized people....in a Patriotic sense. But caution about him and his intentions from a spiritual perspective is concerning. I'd prefer he stay on course and leave the spiritual matters to those who know better than he about matters of faith. Currently he is in the dark about such things.
Exactly.

The True God will not share His glory with a false image and I think it is prophetic of the times that Christians who should know better, blissfully sweep that aspect under the rug just because the term "God" is used.
Years ago, mormonism tried to make itself part of the Promise Keepers movement and almost succeeded until the watchmen in the group raised the issue - mormons are not Christians and we should not be yoked with them. I was on the Washington mall that day with a million+ other Christians of all denominations on our faces praying and repenting of the sins of this country. Fast forward to today - this event has the appearance of a pep rally where God loves the USA just because we are the USA - with no evidence of repentance for allowing things to get this way. God allowed the leaders we deserved because of our collective unrighteousness and I saw nothing in this rally's reports of serious repentance - just a lot of human effort and works to bring the country around.
Jeremiah 18:9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
