I'm not really sure what you are referring to. My post above was responding to previous posts claiming that the Declaration of Independence was not referencing God. Could you explain what you mean a little more?
By the by, the wording you use in your question is misleading. The Constitution does not give government authority
over religion, no, but that does not mean that a general respect, support and reverence to religion is prohibited. I believe that the Founders proved that by all the things they did in office that could be considered religious in nature. (For example, having a local clergy member offer a prayer prior to their meetings)
