Jim, in fact, it's quite the contrary. There is no mention of God anywhere
in
the Constitution. However, the Constutition clearly states that no religious
test can be required to host office. The first amendment provides both
freedom
to worship as well as a prohibition of government establishing religion.
Jefferson in his writings used the term "separation of church and state" in
reference to that establishment clause.
