It’s powers are ordained of God and our rulers are to be ministers of His Law. Do any of our three branches of national government acknowledge this verbally or actually strive to do God’s Will through applying His Word? No.

I'm sorry, I had no idea I was dealing with someone who thinks that any 
government that is not explicitly theocratic is "de facto atheist". Had 
I known that, I wouldn't have bothered to attempt to dissuade you of 
your views. And thank God (ironically) that so many other Christians (I 
mean "de facto atheists") don't agree with you in that regard. Take care.
