It is an obvious bias to a specific theology; which goes against the
spirit of the letter of the constitution.

But...if that's the bias of the majority of the Members, where's the harm?
More importantly, what makes it illegal? The "spirit" of the amendment
was
to prevent state-sponsored religion. That has been strenuously adhered to
in the US.

I do not want to see ANY
religious references on government issued documents; their presence
is quite presumptions and offensive.

That is the crux of your argument: You don't *want* to see any reference
to
religion. That's a far different matter than trying to claim that "In God
we trust", for example, is illegal.

I argue that it is explicitly unconstitutional for Congress to make a law
placing "In God We Trust" on a government document or "Under God" in the
Pledge of Alliegance. Beginning a session of Congress with a prayer is not
the same thing as making a law. Now if the Executive were to simply direct
the Treasury Department to do something, or if there were some other sort of
decision making, fine. Congress is explicitly prohibited from making any law
whatsoever "respecting an establishment of religion".
