creeping theocracy: the source

Roberts Hearings Likely to Enter Religious Territory, By Shailagh Murray, Washington Post, Monday, September 5, 2005; Page A06.
Bush helped to trigger the debate in summer 2002, after the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals banned the Pledge of Allegiance in schools because of the "under God" clause. "We need common-sense judges who understand that our rights were derived from God, and those are the kind of judges I intend to put on the bench," Bush declared then.
HE IS WRONG! Our rights come from the Constitution, which was written by people. The Constitution does NOT mention a diety! At inauguration Bush swore he would "uphold the constitution":
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
- Presidential Oaths of Office
Bush's statement in 2002 means that he following a religious idea that contradicts the Constitution. Is the President of the United States is upholding the Constitution of the United States or is he upholding the fusing of church and state?
