The government printed money would be just a little more constitutional and secular and I wouldn't have to scratch it out all the time.
Also, the sky would fall and the oceans would boil and the grasshoppers would infest and the Christians would gnash their teeth. Oh the gnashing. The gnashing.

Then the US might look as if it were not such a theocracy (it is, but would never admit it) and it would come into the 21st century and acknowledge that not everyone believes in God, and not everyone is Christian.
It would be a good thing not to put this on our coinage. I'm sure the US Mint would never in a million years put "In YHWH we trust" or "In Allah we trust". Heavens no! That would be showing respect to Jews and Muslims! SHRIEK! NOOOOOOO! Anything but showing respect to Jews or Muslims! Can't have that going on!
Pardon my sarcasm. Thinking about this dysfunctional administration makes me snarky.
Cheers, K

I dunno, it would stop saying it? It really wouldn't be terribly consequential, except for a few outspoke churches throwing a hissyfit about how they're being discriminated against.
I swear, some religious groups don't know what persecution is. "You won't let us teach our religion in public schools!? That's persecution!" No, it would only be persecution if they taught every other religion in public schools.
Real persecution is when two Wiccan parents are divorcing on good terms and settling who gets primary custody of their child, and the judge presiding over the divorce attempts to rule that they cannot raise their child to be Wiccan, despite the fact that they both agree that the child should be raised thus.
He wanted to have this kid sent to Catholic school or something. I don't think the source is active anymore, or I'd link you to it.

If we stopped putting that on our currency, we could earn a lot of money by renting the unused space to Burger King or McDonalds.

Nothing. Well, you'd have the over zealous religious psycho's that are going to complain, but they complain about everything. I don't think about God when I look at my money, and have yet to meet anyone who has. As a Christian, I'd prefer it not to be on it, the root of alot (not all or most) of evil, stems from money (greed). Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's, give unto God what is Holy.....

Nothing. It wasn't on paper currency until the 1950's.

I would then gladly start carrying money around more often instead of using Debit cards and checks most the time.
I do believe in God, but am against this phrase being on our money. Its unconsitutional, and just plain wrong. Not everybody in the U.S. trusts God.

Why the heck not? I mean, they made $50 pink! PINK! If you can make my greenbacks PINK and not look back, who cares what's on it. Put freaking Porky Pig on there instead! Is it from Congress? It should say "in Pork we trust" instead! Pink freaking money... AS IF it were pinko-dollars. Gay commie bastard Republicans...

Newly issued currency would no longer have "In God we trust" on it.
That's about it.

It would not bother me.
I would continue to be a Christian.
I understand that everyone does not believe in God. You cannot legislate or force people to believe in God.
