"...and make no mistake this nation was founded on the belief in God."
Methinks you are mistaken about that one my friend.
This nation was founded on the belief in Man. The majority of our founding fathers were deists who believed that, while we where created by 'God', 'God' had left the world to its own devices and to function within its natural laws that 'God' created. If anything, they realized the inherit problem in a governance that had ANY kind of DIVINE authority attached to it (e.g. Monarchy) and saw fit to remove that from this experiment that we now inherit.

In the place of religion we now have feminism, so-called gay rights, the pornography explosion, abortion on demand, single-parent families, and suffocating nanny statism.
Atheists have remade this nation in their own twisted, self-worshipping, godless image. That is why the Constitution is fraying. John Adams, among others, prophesied that would be the destiny of this nation if its people rejected God.
