No, this covers the "big three" but there are many that don't have a god figure (budhism) or multiple god figures (hindu).

The first part is debated by the "framers intent" and "letter of law" type people. I am not a lawyer, so I can't comment except to say I tend to agree more with the framer's intent people more often.
The second part is a battle yet to be waged...but I see it coming in the not too distant future.
