That just proves how nutso Christian he is. Truly a disgrace to the founding fathers of the Constitution.
Perhaps you should read the works by the definitive historian of the revolutionary generation of founding fathers, Joesph Ellis.
Once you realize the true intent of the constitution and how it was to be interpreted, you will then see just how far off base Ron Paul is from that ideal.
The problem is, most people do not read or cannot read. Therefore fiction and propaganda then supplant truth. Such is the case with Mr. Ron Paul. What a hillarious disgrace.
No, the problem is that you are an atheist that is trying to rewrite the intent of the founding fathers by removing God from the equation.What is the first two words on the Great Seal of the United States?
"Annuit Coeptis"
" A common English translation for this phrase is "by the Grace of God."

Annuit Cœptis (pronounced /ˈænjuːɪt ˈsɛptɨs/) is one of two mottos (the other being Novus Ordo Seclorum) on the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States. Taken from the Latin words annuo (to nod, approve) and cœpio (to begin, undertake), it literally means "He approves the things which have been begun."
In 1782, Congress appointed a design artist, William Barton of Philadelphia, to bring a proposal for the national seal.[1] For the reverse, Barton suggested a thirteen layered pyramid underneath the Eye of Providence. The motto which Barton chose to accompany the design was, "Deo Favente." The proper Latin translation of Deo (ablative of Deus, the Deity) is "with God." "Deo Favente" is Latin for "with God favoring." A common English translation for this phrase is "by the Grace of God."
Barton's Design with Deo Favente PerennisBarton explained that the motto alluded to the Eye of Providence: "'Deo Favente' which alludes to the Eye in the Arms, meant for the Eye of Providence."[2] For Barton, Deus (God) and The Eye of Providence were the same entity.
In light of the fact that the theme "13" was included throughout both sides of the seal, a month later, Charles Thomson amended Barton's motto with a phrase containing 13 letters. The motto on the front of the seal (E Pluribus Unum) already had 13 letters. Thomson suggested a phrase that was synonymous to "Deo Favente" but with thirteen letters: Annuit Coeptis.
When Charles Thomson provided his official explanation of the meaning of this motto, he wrote:
"The Eye over it [the pyramid] and the motto Annuit Coeptis allude to the many signal interpositions of providence in favor of the American cause."[3]
Hence, the motto and the Eye of Providence both alluded to the same reality. The Eye of Providence was commonly understood as a symbol for God and destiny. Hence, Annuit Coeptis is translated by the U.S. State Department, The U.S. Mint,[4] and the U.S. Treasury[5] as "He (God) has favored our undertakings." (brackets in original).[6]
"Annuit Coeptis" and the other motto on the reverse of the Great Seal, "Novus Ordo Seclorum," can both be traced to lines by the Roman poet Virgil. "Annuit Coeptis" comes from the Aeneid, book IX, line 625, which reads, "Iuppiter omnipotens, audacibus adnue coeptis." It is a prayer by Ascanius, the son of the hero of the story, Aeneas, which translates to, "Jupiter Almighty, favour [my] daring undertakings." According to the ancient state religion of Rome, properly called the Cultus Deorum Romanum, Jupiter was head of the pantheon of Gods.
