Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life - Religion and Politics: Contention and Consensus (Part I): "Relatively few Americans express concern about the use of religious rhetoric by political leaders. In fact, nearly twice as many say there has been too little reference to religious faith and prayer by politicians (41%) than say there has been too much (21%). President Bush receives particularly positive ratings in this regard. "

The courts have done it, of course--removing religion from the public forum. Not by elections, not by legislatures--but by the usurping of power by the courts, because they think that the words have no meaning, just whatever meaning the judges decide, which may change from time to time.
