Who says devotion to God has ever been under-emphasized in this country? Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Muslims all have their own way of expressing their devotion and they have all freedom to do so! This is called "Freedom and Equality of Religion". And the government's mandate is to work for everyone's welfare without any discrimination based on religion. That's called "Secular Governance" - separation of church and state.
