A short, but enormously important note.
Yesterday the President and Vice President of the United States of America formally took the oath of office. (Today they do so ceremoniously.) As each did so, he placed his hand on a Christian bible, spoke the oath of office, and ended it with these words, "...so help me God."
These solemn and legal actions, not significantly dissimilar from that which I performed several times as an officer in the United State States Marine Corps, are the manifestation and public acknowledgment of the enormous obligation to the nation the individual undertakes. To unambiguously signify one's recognition and acceptance of this highest of obligations to one's fellow citizens, the President and Vice President did so by solemnly stating "...so help me God," with the left hand placed on a Christian bible and the right hand raised.
Clear examples of the importance of God in America.
