I thought the US constitution insisted that they be totally secular, no religion in schools or any other government or public institutions.
Yes, the masaonic fathers of the USA wrote seperation of religion and state into the constitution. It is the only country in the wolrd where this is cast in stone.
Sadly it was largely ignored as evidenced by the "In God we Trust" on their bank notes.
The US separation of church and state was intended to originally to prevent the establishment of a state church and to protect freedom of religion. It's only in recent decades that the first amendment has been used to protect the state from religion.
It's somewhat ironic that no president who wasn't at least nominally Christian has ever been elected (notwithstanding the Republican Party loonies who are convinced Obama is a muslim), and that the US is such a religion influenced society.
