- you should also take a look at many of our legal documents. Especially the
- Declaration of Independance (written by none other than Thomas Jefferson) which
- mention God. Look at many of the state constitutions as well. Look at the
- pledge of alliegence. Look at our currency ("In God we Trust"). I'm sure you'll
- notice one thing that's mentioned repetedly, "God".
