You're right ... I didn't notice that the preamble part was missing. I was just going by the thread title. Why was the TN constitution included in this thread?
I agree with you that ALL U.S. constitutions should be re-written to exclude acknowledgment of ANY deity. In other words, you have a right to worship anything you want ... or not. As you said.
The TN constitution does acknowledge Almighty God; but it goes on to say that no one can actually MAKE you worship.
