False religions like Islam who teach that you must worship this way, are completely opposite with what our First Amendment stands for.

Indeed, the acknowledgement of God is not synonymous with religion.

I must acknowledge God. It says so in the Constitution of Alabama. It says so in the First Amendment of the Constitution.

Anytime you deny the acknowledgement of God you are undermining the entire basis for which our country exists.

The whole basis of the Constitution was a restriction of power, and the whole basis of the federalist system was that there was not one sovereign centralized power from which all authority flows.

The free exercise clause of the constitution does not apply to any religion but Christianity. [because none of the other religions are legitimate religions.].

I was asked three times directly in the hearing before the board of the judiciary whether or not I would continue to acknowledge God if I were to resume my position as chief justice. And I said I would.
