the point I was trying to make is that I don't see how having the word ''God'' in the constitution makes the US a theocracy.

I agree, there are references to Christianity in the Dutch national anthem as well, and even though about 40% of the population is atheist I don't see anyone whining about it.

You won't find the word "God" in the US Constitution.

I made a mistake, I apologise.

You can find the word God in many constitutions (including the constitution of my country), that however does not make them theocracies.
