Do they still use it and why? How does it make them feel?
Please answer if you don't believe in God.

since you don't believe, don't use anything associated with OUR God. Make your own Athiest MOney or whatever religion you are. God rules and even you have to submit to him by using money that states that you trust in him. So since you're so big, bad and bold, don't use money and see how far you get. you'll get about as far as you'll get without God.

Of course people are still going to use money no matter what it says.
I think it is a bit ridicules though. I don't like that our currency is indicating that our nation all thinks alike. Some of us don't believe in "God" so we don't trust "God".
Religion and politics should not mix. Money is a political thing down to showing the faces of our past presidents and our landmarks. So in my opinion it should not say that on the dollars.

Do you simply not believe in god or are you anti god? I'm curious because you most likely don't believe in the tooth fairy or the great pumpkin either, but I suspect you are not offended by their depiction. I am an atheist and I am no more offended or bothered by the mention or depiction of god than I am anything else I don't believe in. I'm just saying this is a free country and freedom of religion is one of those guaranteed by our constitution. Lets not tear the whole country down with lawsuits and hypersensitivity just because someone does not agree with us.

Well what god is our government referring to, so to me that simply implies to a generic god. I believe in a different god than you do or do I, since I use money all the time, maybe the government is referring themselves as god.

They also say "Liberty", so we are free to use our Liberty to not choose god.
We still use it because coins are very hard to change and most people want it on there.
Mostly we ignore it
Quick tell me everyword on the back and front of a 2000 nickle.
Did you say "Liberty" "In God We trust" "E Pluribus Unum" "United States of America" "Five Cents" and "Monticello" ?
See we all ignore some of the words on coins.

Since we see past the illusion of God we are able to manipulate reality, that is why it appears that we have so much more money than you. We can create money with our will while you just spend the illusionary leftovers of a goat herders dream in the desert.

Our money may say "In God We Trust", but it's backed by the US Federal Reserve.

It doesn't say "In god we trust" on all money, only on USA money which most of the world doesn't use.
