Silly me. I assumed the Creator was God.
Sad really. This country was started by free thinkers, where have they all gone?
While that establish clause stated there would be no official religion of the United States, there is no mention that the two shall be separated. In fact, if you look to our founding documents, you'll find God mentioned quite a bit.
Our founding fathers beleived that without religion, we would fail. They beleived that morality based upon one's self provides a large opportunity for corruption. Morality requires some religious beleif or it falls to the wayside, when the need of the self becomes greater than it's morality.
I recommend a book called the 5,000 Year Leap, where you will quickly learn just how these amazing men based our country entirely in faith in God, and the wonders He provides us.
Thomas Jefferson was a man of deep religious conviction — his conviction was that religion was a very personal matter, one which the government had no business getting involved in.
“I never will by any word or act, bow to the shrine of intolerance.”
-Thomas Jefferson
