Our moral sense is constant and does not change. It is hardwired into our DNA.
If we, as citizens, put god above man and our governments, then you would have a point.
Americans swear their pledge of alliance to the state and not to a god.
Christians and other religions break that pledge when preaching against the state laws.

Americans pledge to a state ‘under God’. I don’t like that any more than you do, but that IS what that particular prayer says.
A truly secular pledge would read something like, ‘I pledge allegiance to liberty and justice for all,’ without all that nationalistic/religious jingoism in the middle.
