"Although it is true that four or five weeks into the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin proposed 'prayers imploring the assistance of heaven, and its blessing upon our deliberations, be held in this assembly,' (Benjamin Franklin, http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/benfranklin.htm.) his proposal did not even merit a vote.

'…I will cut off … them that are turned back from YHWH; and those that have not sought YHWH, nor inquired for him.' (Zephaniah 1:4-6)...."
