God has no place in secular government

God has no place in secular government

Leaving God out of government is not atheism, it is just secular government, or neutrality--it favors no one and protects everyone.

When a recipe for chocolate cake calls for only flour, sugar, water and chocolate, do we call this an "atheist" recipe, simply because it does not say "Now add a pinch of God"?

No, we do not. Likewise our pledge and motto and currency were not atheist when they did not include God; they were simply neutral regarding faith, not atheistic.

It is up to us as individuals to bring the spirit of God to all that we do not up to the government.

Strict neutrality in government matters is what protects all religions and freedom of conscience.
