Russotto is correct, America is a secular nation. Neither our government, nor our laws are based on Judeo-Christian principles or religion and we have no "national morality". It's not the place of government to legislate morality.

I must say that given the beliefs of those who wrote that, they were almost certainly referring to the christian god/creator.
It's interesting you would think that because the vast majority of our founding fathers weren't Christians. They were diests and unitarians which don't believe in the judeo-christian concept of god.

And since Griff likes quoting Washington so much, here's a quote from the Washington.

Quote:
The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.
- George Washington
