Well looking on the site ACLJ.org I don't see any national laws but if they're any laws they're different from state to state. In other words some states have, if I can say, unsignificant laws like no prayers in state parks or something and some don't have any laws.

Can't say I know about 'God Bless A'a'. We had a small brouhaha here recently when the valedictorian of her graduating class gave as her address a commentary about her faith etc.. I was genuinely torn, about her right to Free Speech, & the 'non-establishment' clause forbidding religion in government-sanctioned events.Such conflicting issues are where the genuinely interesting Constitutional cases lie.
Congress is still opened by taxpayer-paid chaplains, & we have 'In God We Trust' still on all of our coinage, & the military employs chaplains to this day, so the system is far from ideal here.
