Like we always said, in God we trust.
Supreme Court rejects atheists' attempt to scrub 'In God We Trust' off US currency
Supreme Court rejects atheists' attempt to scrub 'In God We Trust' off US currency
The Supreme Court rejected an atheist case Monday to remove "In God We Trust," the national motto, from all coins and currency from the Department of Treasury.
Michael Newdow, the same activist attorney who tried to remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance, lost his case, arguing Congress' mandate to inscribe "In God We Trust" on currency was a government endorsement of religion and a violation of the First Amendment
.
Wrong. In god we trust was added to currency by order of Lincoln during the civil war to get a few pesky preachers off of his back at the time as he had more important matters to attend to.
Our national motto is E. Pluribus Unum. Which is also on our currency.
The in god we trust motto can be removed by an act of Congress, as the Constitution only gives Congress that power.
The plaintiff in this case lost only because he did not have standing to bring the case.
The United Sates of America is not, or ever will be a Christian nation officially, as that is a violation of the Constitution and would never be heard by the court, much less upheld.
