I keep seeing news footage of American politicians saying things like:
"Let us pray"
"God Bless American"
"God Bless The American People"
"May God save America"
etc etc...
I would assume they're talking about the God that Christians believe in? But doesn't the American Consitiution state that Religion and the State must be keep seperate?
Why then are they airing their religious views?
And what are they actually supposed to mean? ie, what's actually supposed to happen when America is "blessed by God" and why would it need a 'blessing' or 'saving'? Why would we need to pray when the these politicians are in charge (and supposedly doing a fantastic job).
