If every word uttered in public places had to have universal agreement and never offend ANYONE then I dare say we'd all live in silence.

Well I don't think that is the issue. Most (if not all) of the legal challenges against the utterance of "God" are lodged against a group seen as a government authority of some sort (ie a public school district). I've not heard of any large organized effort to prevent people from using the word "God" in public. It's not invoking the name of a God that bothers them so much as an authoritarian source turning it into an official proclimation.

With all due respect and I don't mean to be rude but have you read the Constitution lately? (And any of our other national documents as well as speeches by all of our former Presidents?) I believe you could call our founding fathers both authoritarian and official. They used the name of God all the time.

I dare say the ACLU would find our Constitution "unconstitutional".
