"Most European Nations Keep God Out of Constitution
The preamble to the EU's reform treaty will not mention God. Yet Germany's major churches would have preferred a reference, they told DW-WORLD.DE. Most EU members do not include God in their national constitutions. Only five of the 27 European Union member states' constitutions include the word 'God' in their texts. Among them is Germany's, in which the preamble states: 'Conscious of their responsibility before God and man, animated by this will […], the German people have adopted, by virtue of their constituent power, this Basic Law.'"
