America's Second Independence

America’s Second Declaration of Independence
America had a tyrannical King and declared her independence. That’s understandable. America chose a new King, God who was and still is loving, just and kind. So why would America want to be independent of such a loving King? Oh well some say it’s good old pride. America is no longer a baby. She is all grown up now and she wants to do her own thing.

Steps America took to declare her independence from her loving King, God.
"Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our Country."
“The 22 word prayer was declared to be unconstitutional and led to the removal of all prayer from public schools in the case Engel v. Vitale. This little prayer acknowledges God only one time. The Declaration of Independence itself acknowledges God 4 times.” “Within 12 months of Engel v. Vitale, in two more cases called Abington v. Schempp and Murray v. Curlett, the court had completely removed Bible reading, religious classes/instruction.
This was a radical reversal of law - and all without precedential justification or Constitutional basis. The Court shared its justification for removing Bible reading from public schools. The Court at this time declared that only 3% of the nation professed no belief in religion, no belief in God. Although this prayer was consistent with 97% of the beliefs of the people of the United States, the Court decided for the 3% against the majority.”
