To get back on topic:
God does not necessarily mean church, especially (I think) in the past.
"The separation of church/state" is not in the Constitution but comes from a letter Pres. Jefferson wrote to some Baptists during his term.
But the founders did not want government influencing churches or the national government assigning a specific denomination for the country as Europe does. Most of our colonies had an official church tho.
They did promote religious morality as seen in writings on many of our national monuments.
"in god we trust" is also the national motto along with "e pluribus unum" also on our currency.
