Great article about how religion became part of American Law (and NOT by its Founders as some like to claim).
“The National Day of Prayer kicked off a profusion of official endorsements of religion: the National Prayer Breakfast (1953); “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance (1954); a Congressional Prayer Room in the U.S. Capitol (1955); “In God We Trust” as the U.S. motto (1956), on our money (1957) and inscribed on the rostrum of the speaker of the House (1962).”
