"This is recognition that government alone cannot guarantee the perfect safety of the people of Kentucky." Opponents set to fight the law in court.

(Kentucky)—Many Christians are happy to know that Kentucky State law requires the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security to stress "dependence on Almighty God as being vital to the security of the Commonwealth."

"Plaintiffs also suffer anxiety from the belief that the existence of these unconstitutional laws suggest that their very safety as residents of Kentucky may be in the hands of fanatics, traitors or fools," according to the suit.

One "Under God" website (undergod.procon.org) notes: "All 50 state constitutions refer to 'God' or some higher power. Forty-three states feature these religious references in the Preamble (introductory clause of explanation) of their constitution. The seven remaining states refer to "God" in their religious freedom provisions." Indeed, Kentucky's own constitution, established in 1891, states: "We, the people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, grateful to Almighty God for the civil, political and religious liberties..."
