I need a Hook!!!!! ASAP PLZ!?

this is alittle lengthy but necessary. i need a hook for my research paper. i have tried to think of something good and catchy but cannot find anything. here is some of my introduction. pls help me if you can anyone...





Many Americans are voting to have God taken out of our government, but why? The United States was founded on the belief in God and he is everywhere in our nation. One can find references to God throughout our nation in historical documents, such as, the Mayflower Compact and the Declaration of Independence. Several of our National Monuments have some form of reference to God and Christianity as well. Some of the most common include the Liberty Bell and the Washington Monument. As many people know, on every form of currency from the penny to the hundred dollar bill printed, is the motto “In God We Trust”.

Where's your thesis? You have a hook, your question.
Reply:True, You already have a hook. Questions and Rhetorical Questions can be a hook. Though, if you didn't reconize that, maybe you could rephrase your question to where it becomes more of a grabber and catches more attention.
Reply:Depending on the direction you choose to go, here may be some headline-like possibilities:





-The God wars: Has Mammon won?


- God in governance: ever necessary/appreciated?


- God: a neo-irrelevance in Government?


- God's role in Government: Has/should it be necessary?


- Has Godliness obsession restrained our past and future governments?


- God-bothering in government policy: an easy-out rationale for conservatives, ignorants and bigots; an un-necessary irksome irritant to the indifferent; an iniquitous policy-base prejudicial and alienating to the majority non-adherents?





Any, or indeed all, the above may be used as an introductory hook. Remember the best hooks are designed to create interest through controversy/conflict to stimulate further attention. Don't offer an opinion (kills interest) until the conclusion of your evidence based summation.





Cheers, hope this is of value.
