Not sure what you're getting at. Aside from stating year of our Lord in a date there is no mention of god in the constitution. Period. End of story. Furthermore, these same frames went out of their way to ban religious test for federal office.
An honest look at Christianity shows crimes equally as terrible as ISIS. Difference is there is no video of it and Christians have for the most part moved past that terrible period in their history. Islam is much younger and is now in the same fight Martain Luther waged not so long ago.
To the original point of this thread, we have to be honest about Islam. It does not have as many contradictions as the bible, therefore it's moderates have a hard time pointing to scripture that refutes the fundamentalist and suicide bombers. The Koran does say some awful things.
Again, if you're serious about stopping suicide bombers in the US look for Islamist. 100% of suicide bombers are Islamist.
And we should work towards the goal of having reason and logic in our public policy, not fairy tales and myth.
