Taken from the Declaration of Independence:

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

----
On a side note your insane and just plain ignorant if you think the bible is fiction regardless if you are from the Judeo-Christian beliefs.

--
Further more if you were to make laws against God in public domain you would violate the first amendment, it clearly says freedom of religion, not from it. Secularism isn't an alternative to some "harsh repressive theocracy". Look at three of the biggest people behind secularism Hitler, Stalin, and Saddam.... not very good track records.
