The U.S. Supreme Court has declared on five different occasions that "we are a religious people whose institutions presuppose a Supreme Being." These decisions were:

• Lynch, 465 U.S. at 675
• Marsh, 463 U.S. at 792
• Walz, 397 U.S. at 672
• Schempp, 374 U.S. at 213
• Zorach, 343 U.S. at 313.

It follows that the Establishment Clause does not deny government the power to acknowledge officially the religious character of the American people.
