Your copy and paste marathon (though possible applicable) is by no means a sign of an opinion developed independently of your indoctrination (that is your inclination to avoid criticism of what you've been taught).

- why did#William Williams propose his more 'Godly' version of the preamble?
- why was the an initiative in Virginia to#change the wording of Article VI to say that "no other religious test shall ever be required than a belief in the one only true God, who is the rewarder of the good, and the punisher of the evil"#
- why did#Maryland delegate Luther Martin say "there were some members so unfashionable as to think that... it would be at least decent to hold out some distinction between the professors of Christianity and downright infidelity or paganism."
There are countless examples of Christian attempts to 'Christian-ize' the Constitution and our law prior to the 1950's. It's was during that time they decided to begin claiming that America had *always* been a Christian nation.
