We say the only true living GOD is GOD of our country..doesn't that mean schools, gov, everywhere? Shouldn't He be apart of eveything...everywhere?

I'm not sure if I completely understand your question...but I do believe in God, and can explain to you why I personally don't think God should be forced upon children or people in schools or Government.
I think finding God is a personal experience, that can sometimes be helped along by friends and family, and even strangers. But I don't think you can force someone into finding God. Even if there is only one true religion and way to God, I think we should offer others the OPPORTUNITY to find that path, rather than showing cold hearted judgement towards them for not already knowing it.
I think we should embrace all people and religions, since to be Christian and follow the path of Jesus is to be loving of others who are different, who are sinners, who are poor, who are sick, who are liars, who are criminals, who have commit the most horrible of acts, and help them find the right path to God. After all, they say there is nothing like the commitment of a convert.
Also, I believe God is everywhere whether we acknowledge him or not. I don't think I need to wear a sign saying "I BELIVE IN GOD AND SO SHOULD YOU" to go to the store to express my faith or lead others to it. I don't have to pray to God, or see Jesus on the cross while I buy my grocieries - God is already there, even without a monument to show for it.

He is not my god, nor does this country have a god--how exactly does a large plot of earth worship anyway?--If your god was real, and he wanted to be posted everywhere, it would already be--it is not--accept the reality

No, we do not say that:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

Ex. 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Even if we were suppose to make likenesses of God, satan's handymen the ACLU would never allow it.

You allude to "we" as being every American. Well, I am a patriotic American, and no, humans should not place the Christian God everywhere. We were established on the principles of civil law, not Christian law.

If you mean the God of the Bible, we're working on that.
But He's not only the God of America - He is Lord over ALL He created.

you are right.it was like that in the 50's and early 60's,then the anti-christ movement came into our country and prayer went out of our schools and the word of God got expelled from public places.
