Why do people fall back on that old tired, dont you know what this country was founded on?
Yes I do, and I seriously doubt some of you do, because of your comments on god and his place in this countrys government.

Hear hear. The founders purposely made us secular, and the constitution is at its heart a secular document.

Fact is that this country was built on a belief in God as the creator BUT with the concept that the government would make no laws that either created or outlawed any specific religion. Regardless of the secularists and the commislamic fascists BS that they are trying to FORCE on us, the constitution does not say that the state and the church are separate.

Have you been forced to join a certain religion or belief. That is why there is separation of church and state so no one religion would be in a place of power or control over the American people. So as not hinder your pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness which you have been endowed with by your Creator.

As A Christian I pray we will never become a Church State. there are a total of less Christian Voters in this Country than Non Christian Voters, It could be a real Theocracy and it might be Non-Christian it could one day be Muslim, or it could be totally Catholic or Protestant and most would not want it to be any religion but their own, Teach the Children about God at Home and keep the Church Bondage out of our Government,

I don't ignore it, even though the conserative Christian movement, i.e. the religious right, would like me and everyone else to do so. This is a warping of consersative values, and Barry Goldwater would be turning in his grave if he knew what had taken over his party.
I am not a conservative, but can respect "Goldwater conservatism". This current brand of right-wing religious nutcase extremism is scary and disturbing. Sort of an American version of the Taliban. God help us all!

The doctrine of Separation of Church and State means that no church shall control the State. And the State shall control no church.
Period. End of story.

Religion has no place in government, and just because our founding fathers were mostly Christian, that doesn't mean that we all believe in that crap.
For those who get upset about the word "God" being on money need to find purpose in life other than being bothered by something so friggin stupid.

Because they are zealots grasping at straws, trying to find some sort of meaning and purpose in thier shallow lives. I'm sorry but the only purpose you are going to find in a religion is the one you believe is the right one, which is your free choice of only a gazillion different things. This country was founded on the systematic almost-genocide of the native peoples of this land for the purpose of taking it over, because it was either that or fight for and demand our rights in our respective european countries. Religious people fled thier lands, came to this one to establish freedom, now they want to base this land on one religion, effectively creating what they once fled.

Separation of Church and State isn't interior the form. what's interior the form is the promise that the government won't impose a state faith on the persons, and that we are loose to coach (or not prepare) in spite of faith we prefer. that doesn't mean that a candidate won't be able to or ought to have and prepare a faith.
