Same God as in the Bible, but referred to as Nature's God
ie natural laws of man (also given by God as inalienable rights by design
of human nature) which is the Gentile path, the separate fold of the same flock
as followers of the divine laws, both governed under the same
authority of Jesus or Justice and universal Truth or God's truth.
Same God, author of universal laws of human nature, but expressed in secular gentile language as civil laws of democratic government based on natural rights of man
(recognized as created and given by the one God).
So the relationship, the spirit of the laws is still "Christian" by our connection with God by conscience in Christ; but the laws themselves are addressed to secular Gentiles
so this is to be distinguished from the divine laws governing the church body.
The same body of people are under BOTH laws by the way:
the PEOPLE make up the church body
the PEOPLE make up the government
but the two sets of laws operate in separate jurisdiction.
Ideally the civil and sacred laws are meant to be in harmony, without any
conflict since these are both given by God, the same God.
But where there are conflicts (due to political biases and interests
of man and privatized groups), if these conflicts are not resolved then this
leads to political competition to put church or state authority above the other,
instead of resovling the conflict so NEITHER is imposed upon the other!
The First Amendment calls for us/the government
NEITHER to establish a religion NOR to prohibit free exercise thereof;
therefore there should be consensus on law, based on
consent of the governed, so there is no risk of either
prohibiting or imposing a religious bias on law that
violates consent of the governed citizens.
