<< The two words acknowledge religion. >>

Acknowledging religion is a constitutional act.
Indeed, the Declaration of Independence acknowledges "God" in its very first sentence:

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights...
...And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.


Furthermore, the Bill of Rights doesn't prohibit acknowledging religion, or acknowledging that this country was founded upon religious principles.
