Well, I guess the streak is finally broken.

Yeah, all those pesky Founding Fathers, writers of state constitutions,
and SCOTUS justices were just crazy nuts wanting that kind of nonsense:

First chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, John Jay, wrote:
"Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it
is the duty ... of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians
for their rulers." (1816)
William Penn
"Those who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants."
Justice David Brewer said this:
"This is a religious people. This is historically true. From the
discovery of this continent to the present hour, there is a single
voice making this affirmation ... We find everywhere a clear
recognition of the same truth ... These, and many other matters which
might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass
of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation. (1892)
As recently as 1952 Justice William O. Douglas wrote:
"We are a religious people whose institutions presuppose a Supreme Being."
Even liberal Supreme Court chief justice, Earl Warren, wrote in 1954:
"I believe no one can read the history of our country without realizing
that the Good Book and the spirit of the Savior have from the beginning
been our guiding geniuses ... Whether we look to the first Charter of
Virginia ... or to the Charter of New England ... or to the Charter of
Massachusetts Bay ... or to the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut ...
the same objective is present ... a Christian land governed by
Christian principles. I believe the entire Bill of Rights came into
being because of the knowledge our forefathers had of the Bible and
their belief in it: freedom of belief, of expression, of assembly, of
petition, the dignity of the individual, the sanctity of the home,
equal justice under law, and the reservation of powers to the people
... I like to believe we are living today in the spirit of the
Christian religion. I like also to believe that as long as we do so, no
great harm can come to our country."
