Alabama---"We, the people of the State of Alabama, in order to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God, do ordain and establish the following Constitution and form of government for the State of Alabama."
As you can see the Almighty God appears in the preamble of each state's Constitution.
Our currency/money that each of us use today has "In God We Trust".
As the President takes the oath of office, he recites the oath and then says "So Help Me God".
If you go to the United States Supreme Court, you will see engraved on the South Wall Frieze depictions of Moses & the Ten Commandments. On the east side of the building where Moses is the central figure among others, holding both tablets of the Ten Commandments, one in each arm.
In the Library of Congress there is a statue depicting Moses with the Ten Commandments in the Rotunda. Also in the Rotunda is a phrase from Lord Tennyson which reads "One God, One Law, One Element, And One Far-Off Divine Event To Which The Whole Creation Moves."
The U.S. Capitol building has a stained glass window of George Washington praying and these words surrounding him. "Reserve Me O God For In Thee Do I Put My Trust. Psalm 16:1".
Also, the White House itself has the Adams Prayer.
