David Re..Isn't it, in effect, systemic "judicial activism" to have the liberal courts of today overriding what the Founding Fathers' positions were on this subject? And is it healthy for our nation?

That is an excellent point. If our founding fathers wanted to carry the separation to the extremes the liberals do, they wouldn't have used the word God so often. The founding father never thought that all religion should be banished from gov, but rather that all religions should be accepted, and allowed to prosper, without interference from gov. Thus, the founding fathers separated them, so gov. couldn't use its power to control religions. Having the word God in a song, or pledge, doesn't exercise control by a specific religion over gov. as the word God is used generically. God can mean many things, and how one interprets it, is up to the individual.
