It's a total reverse of the states - Mentioning God in politics is NOT the done thing and is considered odd.
That's no surprise when you think about it. Remember, the US was originally founded by all the religious nuts you guys and the rest of Europe couldn't tolerate anymore.
Of course you still obviously believe in the divine right of kings on some level or you would have tossed your nobility out a long time ago.

Re: In Canada
divine right is historically least present in the British state than in any of the European monarchies.
But it is MORE present than in the US where monarchy doesn't exist. And that's what I was comparing it to: the USA, not other countries that have monarchies.
However weak it may be, the concept of Divine Right of Kings still exists in Britain by the continued acceptance of monarchy, however limited. England's monarch is still the head of the church for goodness sakes!
