As an American it doesn't matter if your god has a capital "g" or not.

I am not going to lie and pretend that I am an authority on  American history. But I did pay attention in my history classes. I feel that I should preface this post with the fact that I went to a catholic high school, which I believe makes the following, which was taught to me at that institution, a slightly stronger point.

It has been a prominent theme on my social media feed that there is less "God" in our country and that somehow we have turned away from what this country was supposedly founded on. While again I am not a scholar of American history, it has always been my understanding that not only were our founding fathers not part of today's mainstream Christian communities (most were of a sect know as Deism who reject religious knowledge as a source of authority), but they were in fact of the thought that there should not be a national church and that there should be a clear distinction of the interest of the state and those of the church. 

It was Thomas Jefferson, who said "Religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State."

Separation between church and state. This notion that no religious entity has the right, and thus is not supposed to have the ability to dictate laws and policies of the American people. The good of the people, the greater good of the country, and the protection of peace and

 freedom are what this country was founded on. With freedom come responsibility, it is our responsibility as the people of America to protect our freedoms and know what this country originally stood for. 

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"

All men, and their Creator. Not God, not Jesus, not Allah, not brahma, or any other deity, just any single man's idea of a creator.

America was a place founded to allow all men to worship without the fear of prosecution. A place where all men were free to believe what was right for their heart. America was a place where no one can force you to denounce your faith, or declare one not your own.

Our country is does not need to bring God back or remember that we are "one nation under God." 

We need to remember that all men have the RIGHT to believe in whatever God he wants.
