God missing from EU constitution
Officials in Brussels have omitted the word God from the European Union's future constitution.
The president of the convention on the future of Europe, Valery Giscard d'Estaing, unveiled the constitution's first 15 draft articles on Thursday.
Among them are statements of respect for member countries' national identity and for human rights, as well as commitments to social justice and the environment.
But none of the chapters mentions any deity, or any explicitly religious or Christian values supposed to underpin the European project.
