Washington said we are not a Christian nation. And Jefferson, Lincoln, Madison, Paine, Lincoln, Franklin and many others said variations of the same thing. You have to remember that one reason America was founded was to break away from not just monarchal tyranny (corporate Bushie elitists being the current version) but religious tyranny. That's why they invented total freedom of religion (including the right to believe in 20 Gods or no God as Jefferson said) and clearly stated that church and state should be separate. "One Nation Under God" or "In God We Trust" is a broad term which acknowledges a deity, but not any specific religion. Almost all religions believe in God. But God is simply a word for the great unknown and goodness of it. It's no accident the words God and Good are so similar. It's also true that no one in the history of mankind has ever been able to describe what/who God might be. Nobody. That's why they worshipped human prophets instead. God is the big question mark and only God knows if he/it has any interest in the way we behave or who/what we worship or don't worship.
