correction
Correction:
They have on occasion, for rhetorical purposes, referenced their BELIEF in the existence of God.
If an Indian court referenced the Hindu gods Shiva or Vishnu, would you take that as "proof" that those gods exist?
Beliefs, remember, are not the same as facts.
If any philosopher wrote a book that proved the existence or non-existence of God, he or she would surely win the Nobel Prize for Literature for solving such an ancient debate.
I personally believe in God, a higher power, whatever you want to call it. However, I am aware that my belief is not proof. That you are not calls into question the extent of your intellectual development.

We decline that invitation. - State v. Skurdal, Supreme Court of Montana, 235 Mont. 291, 767 P.2d 304 at 308 (1988).
