If going by the polls and knowing your theological position...then yes,I can appreciate your question and possible desire.
The truth is Bettie,Atheists,pagans and other groups combined,who do not subscribe to the idea of a personal God are not by far the only ones who do not really trust God. Many,Many who say they do....really don't...Many pay lip service but do not know God or trust him.
"True" Christian trusting theists I believe to be in the minority.
Here is just one boring text, for all who will, to consider. "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'............trust me, the rest is not good.
Do some funny questions....I got way over board serious on that one.

If they trust in God, why do they have to put it on their money? To remind them?
"Oh, look, the nickel says 'In God We Trust'. That's right! I had forgotten. No, not the pint, the fifth. And a hardpack of Marlboro Lights. I'm paying cash."

It's pretty irrelevant whether the majority trusts in God. You might as well have "Some species of shrew use echolocation" on there.

Why would anyone claim that christians are extremely selfish just for wanting to force everyone to deal with their perverted beliefs in god?

If it read "In God Many Trust", I'd have no problem with it.

I find it odd that they even put "in god we trust" on money when the bible speaks so poorly of it "the love of money is the root of all evil".

Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, does it?
And anyhow, I trust in god just fine -- there's not much sinister that an imaginary being can do, after all.
It's his FOLLOWERS I wouldn't turn my back on...

Maybe its our founding fathers speaking from the currency?

Actually, it should have no non-secular statement at all. It currently infers a Christian god, which is an affront to all the non-Christians, period.
