It's nothing new. Most countries have done it at some point. The idea is, "if God is on our side, who will stand against us?" It's a good way to bring even quasi-religious people together and make them believe that the country is strong and shouldn't fear because a higher power is backing them. Look at almost any country in history, the leaders will always say that their god is somehow cheering them on rather than some other country. It keeps the population under control by having them questioning authority less because they aren't as afraid of outside attacks.
