Here the first half-sentence of the preamble:
Quote:

Im Bewusstsein seiner Verantwortung vor Gott und den Menschen,

means: "In awareness of its responsibility before God and the people,"
I whole-heartedly despise God being in our constitution. Especially for the reasons you already mentioned. But since 1949, it has not been changed. And I think it would be about time...
As for the young christian generation in the US, I sure hope none of those hypocrats will be my boss, or lead any important buisness I am involved with. Especially not politics...Ah damn, I'll get riled up about this.
