quote:
I have no problem with "in god we trust" being on coins. I'm a little shaky on the whole "under god" line in the pledge, because that was added long after the original pledge was written.
But the reason "in god we trust" is on coins at all is because during the civil war, devout people demanded to have it put on there. It's disappeared from several coins here and there for years, and "in god we trust" wasn't made our national motto until the Cold War.
I am frankly disturbed and offended that this is our national motto, when in my mind it should be "E Pluribus Unum" (out of many, one)
The Founders minted money without religious indications of any kind on it for a reason.
