Protip: Neither are and the people making these lawsuits have too much time on their hands.

  • Pro tip: give reason when you say a statement that is pretty much fact, is false.

[/quote] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_God_we_trust#Controversy]Okay.[/url] [quote]The motto was first challenged in Aronow v. United States in 1970, but the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled: "It is quite obvious that the national motto and the slogan on coinage and currency 'In God We Trust' has nothing whatsoever to do with the establishment of religion. Its use is of patriotic or ceremonial character and bears no true resemblance to a governmental sponsorship of a religious exercise."[34] The decision was cited in Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow, a 2004 case on the Pledge of Allegiance. These acts of "ceremonial deism" are "protected from Establishment Clause scrutiny chiefly because they have lost through rote repetition any significant religious content."[35] In Zorach v. Clauson (1952), the Supreme Court also held that the nation's "institutions presuppose a Supreme Being" and that government recognition of God does not constitute the establishment of a state church as the Constitution's authors intended to prohibit.[36] [/quote]

  • Alright. Congrats for finding that. So the Supreme Court says that the word "God" on money and in the pledge has nothing to do with a religious god. That makes sense. Sorry but to me that's like when OJ said he didn't murder anyone and the court agreed. Doesn't change actual truth.
