Our money, for instance, only says "In God We Trust". That would satisfy every theistic religion.

The United States is not a christian nation. Christianity may have the most practitioners but the government endorses no belief system over another. They cannot by law because that would be in violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution.

The term "In God We Trust" was unconstitutionally added to currency in 1956. But you are correct, the US is not a Christian nation. The Treaty of Tripoli even states that, "...the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion..." and ratified by the US Senate.

NO OFFENSE intended, but you seem to be ignorant of the intensely powerful Christian faith of about 90%-or-so of the USA's Founding Fathers.
A relatively brief historical research on this issue (the intensely powerful Christian faith of the very great majority of the USA's Founding Fathers) would possibly be quite surprising to you.
This makes me wonder whether-or-not you ar aware that one of the foundational creeds of Christianity is the divinity (yes - that's right - DIVINITY) of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Because God is the Father and Jesus Christ the Son. The Trinity is God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit......all in one, is God.

Well we are not a Christian nation we are a nation of freedom, and the right to choose and "God" would not satisfy every theistic religion by any means. you are naive to believe so. Our country was not settled to be tied down to one idea or religious belief we were established to allow people to believe whatever the heck they want to. People are just to rude to allow people their "god given right" or American given right.

The United States is not a Christian nation, though it was founded on very Christian principles that uphold the dignitiy and freedom of the individual and of freedom/choice (separation of church and state and freedom of religion).

Don't I have a right not to believe in God? Sounds like the money might be a thorn in the side of any atheist.

Well, Jesus is God. But God is the Father. So it's in God we trust.
