Absolutely. This country was founded in freedom or shall we say to do away with religious opression and even though this my offend some people I believe it should stay. I am not a member of a "church" pursee because I whole heartedly believe that somewhere along the lines Gods truth got mixed up with political B.S. and the churches of today are not Gods true plan for things but in the long run there is a god and it doesnt matter who we choose to worship God is God weather he is called something else or not. There for I believe that no man, or woman, should have a problem with this. I wouldnt care if it said in Allah we trust because to me that is still God.

To begin with, have you heard of: "The best habit is to have no habit". Expanding the same logical concept, I would say: "The best belief is to have no belief". Paradoxical, eh.
The dilemma is: if we leave it, believer will be satisfied, not the disbeliever, but if we omit it, disbeliever will be satisfied, not believers. So what is the solution?
Being based on the following, my resolution would be (leave it):
1. Approach the word "God" in its general meaning. In light of the above, everybody has a God of his/her own (remember "the best habit..." mentioned above).
2. The statement is already there, why the fuss (too much ado about nothing)?!!!
3. It is traditional.
4. Don't you trust your God???!!!. If you do not, then the question should be posed differently, example: Do we have to trust in God?.
Good luck.

No! It's insulting to God to associate him with filthy lucre! I don't even understand the phrase. Does it mean God is backing the money because gold and silver aren't?

Absolutely, It is a patriotic sayine. That simply means that there is no one else that we can trust but God. In the retail trade there is a saying, "In God we trust, everyone else pay cash." This should not only be on U.S. currency, but also, should be every where else.

No. It implies that the govenrment that is responsible for printing that money has a religious agenda. There are many in this country (Athiests, Pagans, Hindus, Buddhists) and many others that do NOT trust in the God referred to on the money and in this era of political correctness it is insensative to remind them that they are ignored by that govenrment.

Sure. Who cares? Its not that phrase that gives it value, its the number printed in the corners.

It didn´t until America went off the Gold Standard, (when we could exchange our dollars for gold).
Now we can only pray that our dollars will continue to have real value.
Check out some old American coins and dollars...pre 1920

No, it was put there during the red scare.
Fish, I know you are an idiot and can't help that, but the word is "moot"
