incorrect.
IF so, we do why swear our presidents in with a bible?
Federal courts - swear in witnesses with a bible
Label our currency and motto - In God We Trust?

last line of Gettysburg address -
"that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth".

Eisenhowers D-day address
"Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessings of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking" (OH MY GOD SOUNDS LIKE A CRAZY SARA PALIN!!!)

Roosevelt on Pearl Harbor -
With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounding determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God.

I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, Dec. 7, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire.

JFK at Cuban Missle crisis -
Our goal is not the victory of might, but the vindication of right- -not peace at the expense of freedom, but both peace and freedom, here in this hemisphere, and, we hope, around the world. God willing, that goal will be achieved.

I guess we have a lot of violations of church and state!
