Yeah well for your information...they were talking about the Government having ONE ESTABLISHED RELIGION....they did not ever say that God should not be included in Government. In fact JUST THE OPPOSITE....the Founding Fathers had a lot to say about GOD....read the papers they wrote! Get your facts straight

Which God? Once you start attempting to answer that question you are venturing into the realm of religion.

Government preferring specific religions (or groups of religions) is what the majority of the Framers wanted to avoid. Some of them for philosophical reasons, some for practical ones (like keeping the colonies unified).
