This isn't fusing church and state. I see it as these folks saying thank you for the rights given by G-d, as described in the First amendment to our Constitution and protected, until this point, by the government, to practice their beliefs freely. The right to one's beliefs has not been the norm historically and we should all be thankful we live in a country where, under the Constitution, the government does not have the power to dictate our beliefs. And we don't say thank you often enough. Do you really think the US is turning into a theocracy? Go to some place like Saudi Arabia (I have) and then see if you think the government pushes religion down our throats. You would have a case if the government had told these folks to fly the flag and sing the national anthem but they did this of their own free will with no coercion. May G-d bless and protect our nation even if we fall short in blessing him.
@@stuartdavis798, agree this country is not a theocracy. Yet. But it will be if Christian evangelicals get their way. It happened on our soil before and it can happen again. See, ‘Puritans in Massachusetts Bay Colony.’ What an ugly and self righteous bunch they were. Your observation that we’re not Saudi Arabia is both true and contradictory. Do we have to become a theocracy to prove we’re not yet a theocracy? Hope not. As to your claim that the US constitution promotes God or God-given rights, that’s simply not true. Our founders, many of whom were Deists or Christians, specifically designed a secular constitution so that our laws would be free of religious interpretation and supernaturalism. Nowhere does our constitution mention any gods or god, or prayer or Bible or Jesus or church or anything else that rightly belongs to supernatural belief systems. Specific belief systems and their institutions may be healthy or not, depending of many factors, but whether Muslim, Hindi, Christian, Jewish or Buddhist, such beliefs must never be allowed to establish or interpret constitutional law. Religions will thrive when free of governmental control, but they will die a terrible death if free people are forced to live by religious laws they never accepted as authoritative or true.

Thou shalt not fuse church and state, lest thou gettest theocracy.
