*America was built upon the [[Mayflower Compact]] which began with the words "In the name of God, Amen," and the [[Declaration of Independence]], which acknowledges [[God]] as the source of rights and freedom. The Constitution is not "godless" but secular, and its major reference to religion is to say that the state shall not ''interfere'' with religious practice.
