For one very good and very important reason. The Founding Fathers left any mention of deity out of the Constitution because they did not want government choosing sides as between religion and no religion.
That is a personal choice and nowhere in the world where it is not is there also freedom of thought.
There are NO "..references to a transcendent creator to whom we owe thanks,...to be found anywhere in our governing document.
The only people who have a problem with the establishment clause of the First Amendment are those who are insecure in their own beliefs and who are wannabe theocrats.
Hey, YOU don't get to choose what or to whom other people give thanks for. Neither does the government.
We're all the better for it.

And why not? When you can celebrate Thanksgiving without thanking God, there’s no shame left to quibble about.

And why didn’t Reid use Washington’s Proclamation? Perhaps because it contained no less than a dozen references to a transcendent creator to whom we owe thanks, an image anathema to the vast majority of progressives, who are hostile to the idea of any governmental expression that presumes the existence of a personal God.
