    Before the Civil War, there was more separation. Things really started going out of wack in the 1950s (that’s when “God” was printed on paper money). The swearing on the bible thing is a tradition from England. At US’s founding 17% of the population were church members. In the the 1950s, 70% were. Now it’s < 50%.
