What if, say, I don’t “Trust God” or put my trust in him? Why should I be focused to be subjected to that? Does that not in some way, shape, or form infringe on my civil liberties? I don’t really care one way or another but what are your thoughts?

I have always wondered that same thing! I'm an American and I don't trust in God. I think the dollar bills should be used as advertising space. i.e. Pespi could spend a few billion to have their logo on the bills ... we could use the money to pay of the national debt.

No it would not The tax exempt status is a authorities waiver which should be petitioned which signifies that each and every corporation is in concept taxable, which does not deny the existence or operation of the corporation in question, ergo the liberty to make certain an organization/faith is real and alive That the authorities makes a tax exemption and instruments regulations, is it really is authorities prerogative, which does not violate the separation of church and state you may not % out this as a discrimination both. evaluate you've 10 ppl that are in debt with you (TAX) and also you position a level in that you'll make certain to pardon the debt (tax exemption) in case you make certain to waiver 8 out of 10, it is your organisation, you at the instant are not obliged to (i'm not likely into the actual undeniable actuality that politics can/will impression the alternative in awarding tax exempt status, yet it really is not on the middle of the "separation" question) Btw i do not stay in the U. S., merely an ex regulation student Peace Edit I forgot to teach that "the separation of state & church", is only a theory that could selection a great deal from state to state or u . s . a . to u . s . a . do not fool yourselves, both were large enthusiasts in the previous, and both attempt to rule your lives, the church ought to were "formally" banned from workplace, yet continues to be an significant political celebration. The data is, in all that the Atheists are bitching about the following on YA 24/7,that they had be at liberty if all ties were severed Peace

The United States is an extremely religious country. There is less of a separation of Church and State here than there is in Europe, Russia, China, India, Canada or Australia. The Religious Right has largely controlled the political agenda in the United States for the last twenty years.
All the "separation of Church and State" really means here is that there is no official, state religion and that religious leaders don't officially dictate government policy. They just influence it.

No, there isn't a total separation between church and state because if you knew American history you'd know that this country was founded by Christians and ALL of our major national documents (Consistution, Bill of Rights, etc., etc.) is totally based on that. I think your civil liberties are based on all of what I just wrote, so, "In God We Trust" is what we are suppossed to stand for in this country. Unfortunately, there are some pea brains out there that don't understand that when you take God out of our country you don't have much. This country grew to be great because it was based on Christian principals, that is a fact. Without them, we are headed for the flusher...as evidenced by where our society has been headed for the last 20-30 years.

"God and church are two different things. The founding fathers did not want a church ruled society, but they also did not rule God out."
"God" has the power to become a church in itself.
The point is regulation of separation between relgions and the state, which must remain secular.
The state represents us all, but with things like this it doesn't.
If money said "In No God We Trust", would you feel like an American citizen? Would you feel represented by the state?

There is nothing in the United States Constitution that says we must have a separation of church and state. Go online and pull up a copy of the document and read it completely and you will see for yourself, that it does not say anywhere within that there be any separation of church and state.

Well if you ask that, then you should ask why is George Washington, Abe Lincoln, ect. on the dollar too. They had slaves and I find that offensive so, should their faces be taken off as well? It's not a literal statement, do see government trusting in God to make decisions? Don't think so.

Don't over analyze the separation of church and state. I'm atheist and I'm not offended by "In God we Trust"

Separation of church & state means that our government is not to impose one religion on US citizens. Many other countries do not make separations...read the news papers to see what happens.
Happy Sabbath.
