The role of God in Kentucky's government

There's an interesting and growing debate going on in Kentucky about the role of God in government and the separation of church and state.

Seems that State Rep. Tom Riner slipped a little God into a piece of Homeland Security legislation back in 2006. With new leadership coming on board, the addition is getting some new attention.

According to a piece in the Lexington Herald-Leader,

Homeland Security is ordered to publicize God's benevolent protection in  its reports, and it must post a plaque at the entrance to the state emergency operations center with an 88-word statement that begins, "safety security of commonwealth cannot be achieved apart from reliance upon almighty God."

Riner is quoted as saying, "This is recognition that government alone cannot guarantee the perfect safety of the people of Kentucky. Government itself, apart from God, cannot close the security gap. The job is too big for government."

What do you think? Is the recognition of God as the ultimate protector appropriate? A good idea? Constitutional? Worrisome?

And where do you stand on the division between State and Church?
