Whenever America starts a new war, or when some perfectly explainable tragedy happens, politicians mention "God" in every other sentence. Does anyone really believe that those politicians believe in God? Apparently the politicians have to offer references to "God" as pabulum to the masses.
I was surfing You Tube channels after the event in Pennsylvania where "Trump fell to floor after some loud noises were heard." (CNN's headline.) Whenever the You Tube channel started talking about offering our prayers or god God GOD, I just turned it off.

Because the government should NOT be playing favorites with the religion of the powerful and the elite or that of the majority.
Religion is a belief system for an individual or a group of individuals. It is their business what they believe or what they worship, it is not the business of the government, which represents all Americans.
It is not the business of the government, again representing all, to promote or discourage a certain religious belief. The government MUST be neutral when it comes to religion, like an umpire.
Founding Fathers like James Madison and Thomas Paine understood this, but unfortunately there are some who want to make America a Christian Theocracy
