Evangelicals and their ilk have used God to justify everything from Prohibition and segregation to slavery

[Optimistic Mysanthrope]

I think that's the point though, god has been the justification, not the cause.

In order for "god" to be a cause it would have to exist. As a justification it only has to exist in men's minds.

Lincoln was thus wrong when he wrote:

In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong. God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time.

"God" is malleable.
