And if we are the ones not actively involved in electing those godly men and women and if people aren’t involved in helping godly men in getting elected than we’re going to have a nation of secular laws. That’s not what our founding fathers intended and that’s certainly isn’t what God intended.

Actually, that is exactly what they intended. The majority of the founding fathers are best described as deists, but more to the point, they were already fully aware of the issues of sectional fighting with the wars between England and France being in great part about religion, and they were all "Christian" of one sort or another. In Revolutionary America there were already multiple groups, and the only way they could see the government operating was if it were secular.

She does get one point right though, it does look like "Florida is the forerunner state." It was the first recent state where the actual election results were tossed out, and led the way for places like Ohio.

There's a God, and he's looking at what this nut job is doing, and wondering how He can arrange to have a ship fall on her. Like, ark size...

they knew their English and European history and its catalogue of religious warfare, suppression of religious minorities and intolerance
the architecture of the United States body politic was the radical application of individual liberty and reason
i don't think people like the quoted understand how radical the constitution was or its wider historical context specifically the religious turmoil of 17th and 18th centuries note the Spanish Inquisition, the English Civil War - John Locke - 1688 the Glorious Revolution and conflicts within England regarding the Established Church and the issue of Catholic Emancipation, the 30 years war
