PA Constitutional Convention Bye Bye Almighty God?

Although I'm opposed to a PA Constitutional Convention, for a variety of reasons continuously expressed herein, if one were held, I couldn't help but wonder if any one of the delegates would dare to admit to being an atheist?

Why an atheist couldn't even mount a campaign for election as a delegate because he, or she, would be pilloried and demonized.

What's the difference between someone who might want to alter our Constitution of PA to exclude mention of Almighty God and someone who might want to alter our Constitution of PA to implement citizens' initiatives and referendum?

The Founding Framers inserted the reference to Almighty God and excluded direct democracy (contrary to their concept of representative government).

If there is room to change one, why isn't there room to change the other?

Just some thoughts as May 1 is just around the corner. Learn your history.
