LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A state appeals court has ruled that Kentucky may continue to give official credit for its homeland security to Almighty God.
Kentucky’s law establishing the state Office of Homeland Security requires its executive director to publicize a “dependence on Almighty God” in training and educational materials and through a plaque at the entrance to its emergency operations center.
By a 2-1 vote Thursday, the Kentucky Court of Appeals overturned Franklin Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate’s ruling in 2009 the phrase violates the U.S. and Kentucky constitutions of state-established religion.

There is no prohibition against state-established religion in the US Constitution. However, it does contain a prohibition against CONGRESS-established religion.
