Should happen, as well as under god removed from the pledge of allegiance. Separation of government and church, it should be secular. Originally our money had [i]E pluribus unum[/i], One out of many, and it was added around the same time under god was the the pledge, there is no reason for any religious context or idealogy to be present in our government or government tender. [quote]"In God we trust" was adopted as the official motto of the United States in 1956 as an alternative or replacement to the unofficial motto of E pluribus unum, adopted when the Great Seal of the United States was created and adopted in 1782.[1][2][/quote]

  • Sorry i was way off, It started appearing on coins in 1864, and paper in 1957. Still no reason to show a religious ideology, or a concept of god, when the separation of church and state is a core concept.
