Mayflower Compact
"Having undertaken for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian Faith, and honor of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the first Colony in the Northern parts of Virginia; do by these presents solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God and one another, covenant, and combine ourselves together into a civil body politick, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof do enact, constitute, and frame such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience."
Why is there a separation of church and state when our founding fathers were extremely liberal in their use God in our official documents, coins, and public buildings?
Are we not "In God We Trust"? And do we not pledge allegiance "to the republic for which it stands, One Nation Under God"?
