"In God We Trust" is on coinage because of political pandering and
inertia. It's a violation of the First Amendment, a violation of the
doctrine of the separation of church and state, an unconstitutional
commingling of national and religious affairs. It's a motto you'd
expect to see on the coinage of an Islamic theocracy, not a Western
democracy.


When you think of it from the perspective of a religious individual such as
Theodore Roosevelt it also panders of an indignity to the believed in diety
when you put his name on a piece of "evil" money.

I would say for it to continue, then we must then put Yahweh, and Allah and
Krishna, and Buddha, and Voodoo on the $ too. Or maybe it would be easier
to just remove any reference to religion and Masonism - ala the $1 bill
reverse.
