E Pluribus Unum
It is the one that our founding fathers wrote symbolizing the unity of the nation.
The other is an endorsement of religion in violation of the first amendment of the constitution. Is serves as nothing but a wedge to divide the people. A divided people turn against each other.

E Pluribus Unum. Read the 1st amendment and you'll see why. A national motto should reflect the body of laws of that nation.

My vote is for E pluribus unum but I consider myself an optimistic non-dogmatic realist who strongly believes in God yet supports separation of church & state ( I do not wish to live in Iran or ANY other theocracies thank you ).

E. Pluribas Unum was adopted in 1782 and aptly describes the values of the American Founding Fathers. America has always gotten it's strength from it's diversity. "In God we trust" was adopted in 1956, mainly due to the anti Communist hysteria of the McCarthy era. In 1959 "In God We Trust" was put on our paper money, as it was no longer backed by silver.
