The US, Congress has emblazoned our money with "In God We Trust" and reworded our pledge of allegiance to read "one nation UNDER GOD." (emphasis added)
However, between 9% & 12% of Americans are Non-Believers, who neither trust in God nor see the US as subjugated by any deity. By including these words into our national icons, Congress has made a religious point for believers, but at the same time divided the nation on religious grounds.
So, for R&S participants: Is national unity worth rescinding the divisive language, or instead does making this religious point justify alienating about 10 percent of the country?
