No, because it doesn't say which God we trust.

Actually the opposite.
Having those words are a great and worthy affirmation of our Constitution because our Founding Fathers and a majority of the nation they founded was Monotheistic.
In fact most of the basic rights and freedoms granted by the Constitution are based at least loosely on the belief that we were all created equal because we were all created by one and the same God.
You should read the Constitution some time.

It certainly is a violation of property. Here's my argument:
Once upon a time, the dollars were backed by gold; they were in fact certificates of deposit. The value of a dollar was pretty much locked away from the arbitrary whim of politicians. They unhooked the dollars' value from gold and hooked it to god. Now they can print the $hit out of them, and do. This (the printing of dollars) is inflation. The increased cost of stuff that follows is the product of inflation.
In god we trust = taxing your money (your property) away. I thought theft was against god's commandment. In a word, they claim a god connection and don't even come through on that.
(google an inflation calculator on your own)

Hello,
You know, at first I was offended by this and all Michael Newdow is doing to remove anything Christian.
But then, I realized, the God I serve is not the God our government leaders serve or served in the past anyway.
Below are just a few websites on what the dollar bill really means and stands for today and yesterday.
Hope this helps you................... : - O

No, in no way does that serve to ESTABLISH a certain religion

Being that the money doesn't "make" worship any one religion, the answer is NO

No. It is a historical statement.
