How can you use the term "unconstitutional" with regards to religion or faith in this country? This country was not founded by athiests! Its quite the other way around! Read the "New England Primer", first book published in the US to get a sense of where OUR forbearers were coming from. Ever since the founding of this great country, people have been trying to undermine its philosophy. Read the constitution (again). Tell me that the intent was to ignore God and build on secular values! Our forefathers understood the importance of separating religion and government. That did not mean they were not religious, nor thought that religious principles should be ignored. Many of those men were "failed men" in the eyes of God. But that did not stop them from creating one of the greatest documents of freedom this world has ever seen. It is NO accident that the US is the lone super power in the world. Our government is strictly not allowed to create a state religion (like England). There is no Church of America (like Church of England).

To use the terms that you use is to not understand the Constitution (said with care and love). What makes America great is a Constitution based on natural law, faith, and belief in something bigger than us. And we accept all who respect those ideals. Worship as you please.
