Society is trying to remove God from everything. This person probably has no back bone.

So he's against christian terrorism. That's not a problem for anyone, is it?
If the entirety of religion is threatened by one person's advocating people to think, then religion isn't worth the time and effort people put in it.
The last time religion had total control over society and reason had none, we called it the Dark Ages.

You should trust both. People are trying to take God out of everything. God is the reason we can reason. Do I believe there should be a separation between church and state? I just remember something my singing teacher once told me. She said that when there was prayer in schools that it was like America had a protective blanket over it, and when they took it out bad things started happening in our country. I don't think religion needs to be pushed on a person, but I don't think what it says in the Constitution and so forth should be changed. Would anyone rewrite Gone With the Wind? Moby Dick? Pride & Predjudice? You can't rewrite history no matter how many people think we ought to. This is only my humble opinion.

I don't know if either of these positions is tenable. One is a position of blind faith. The other, based on the intellect, is just as blind. It assumes that "reality" is knowable through reason. Stephen Hawking says, "one day through reason, we will understand the mind of God". This appears arrogant and naive. How do we know what we know? How can we tell that what we know is true? What is the object of knowledge? There have been many philiosphers that have asked the same questions. You can check them out... Locke, Berkley, Hume, Liebniz, Husserel, Kant, Descartes, Aristotle, Wittgenstiein, Baudrillard.....find your own answer

it doesn't make much sense to me...
How about "In God We No Longer Trust"
or
"On Reason we Rely"...(would make more sense)
or
"We Want God to Turn His Back on Us"
it's just stupid..
The forefathers said "In God We Trust" because they we mostly Christians and believed He was the reason for their freedom..
Since we(most) have a completely different mindset as a country now, instead of changing the word "God" we might as well just change the whole thing and say:
"We are ok without you now God"

Yes! Here is another version:
"In God We Trust.... All Others Pay Cash"

For me it's seems like some people just want to fight to fight and they really don't have a reason to,
All it says is in God we Trust, it does not say "Every american will believe in God because that's what our forefathers did"
They need to grow up and get some reasoning themselves.

I feel like it must have been a long license plate.

Aren't we molded in the liking of God making us like Him. With reason, which he gave us as a gift, we became like him. So its like saying in LOGIC we trust. And we as humans have those ability.

Trusting in reason is much better than trusting in a fictional being.
