*My* Creator [sic] is a one-word summation of the process of evolution
and, more directly, of human biological reproduction. I can point you to
various links explaining how my mother and father conceived me, but I expect
from your previous postings that you'd find them obscene and would call for
their removal.
Having said all that, and since you still haven't in any way demonstrated
that "under God" is a non-religious statement, nor have you demonstrated
where in the US Constitution there is any mention of "God," I would remind
you yet again that the Declaration of Independence is NOT a document of
United States law and is thus irrelevant to the issue of Constitutional
church/state separation.

The initial issue of "under God" is expressly Christian, so stop trying to
steer the dicussion away from the elephant in the room.
Dave!
