Beliefs are held by individuals, not nations

Mike D.,

Look up "religion" in the dictionary. Deism certainly qualifies.

Yes, one can be a Deist and not religious. However, the issue was does "under God" qualify as reflecting religion.

Best, Michael

Wikipedia has no mention of Deism as a religion...it is listed under
belief systems of which none are "religions" as such.
