    No mention of Christ? "God" is kinda vague, could be anybody's God.

    Ladies and Gentlmen, start your state cons utional amendment engines.

    If you are going to say these are the Preambles of all 50 states, then you should probably post the actual Preambles, not the Part 1 Article 1 Section 5s.

    Regardless... this proves it... whatever "it" is.

    The fact that God is mentioned either by name or by description does not, any way shape or form, make Christianity a must in the way of life of Americans.
