Keep god out of homeland security.

I came across this article the other day and was a bit taken aback. Last time I checked, we have separation of Church and state:

"Atheists want God out of Ky. homeland security"

My favorite part was :

"No government by itself can guarantee perfect security," Riner said. "There will always be this opposition to the acknowledgment of divine providence, but this is a foundational understanding of what America is."

Hmmm... pretty sure we don't have to acknowledge divine providence. I mean, can anyone explain to me how this is acceptable? It's a clear endorsement of a religious belief. We don't need to be officially endorsing anything of the sort. If you wanna believe in a god that cares and has control over what happens on Earth, that's you call. Though, what with all the stuff that goes down in the world, that would seem to make him a bit of a jerk. Whatever. I'm not asking for a giant "keep god out of government" sign, just that we ignore the issue in the public sphere.

If we suppose for a minute that god is real, who's to say that he's rooting for us? I mean, Bush has done some very un-christian things in the last 8 years. What if god is like, totally cool with Switzerland or Belgium, and could care less what happens to America? I don't think people should be trying to attach intentions to the supposedly omnipotent god they worship. If I were omnipotent, that would piss my almighty ass off.
