Actually - most of the framers of the original Constitution were against any religious influence in the new republic they were creating - thats why they specifically made only two references to religion and both were exclusionary against religious infraction into government

The words "in god we trust" were added to money after the civil war by some religious zealots in power at the time - up until then most people understood the separation clause of the Constitution. Its gone downhill since then.
