The homeless in the USA are referred to churches for help, mostly Christian, but the libraries have nothing on "Law of Nature" books. What they have is something like 30-40 christian based books, and a few on atheism available to order from another branch.

So, if in school the pledge of allegiance specifies "under god", and there's no books on the law of nature or natural law, then who/what are they actually promoting to be "under"? And is there even a 'nature's god" to begin with or is this an open ended question?

No idea, not an American.

But in general, could mean:
  • Pantheist God (God = Universe)
  • Mother Nature
  • Metaphorical God
  • God of Nature
  • Laws of nature
  • Natural First Cause
  • Some glorious caretaker of nature
etc.
