Because for people that do not believe it would cause an uproar.

It's called separation of church and state because people would than think the government was christian. even though all currency says is God we trust, it doesn't specify who "god" is. by putting Jesus on the face of the 100 dollar bill, it could mean Jesus is god.

Matthew 22:16-21 (NIV)
"Teacher," they said, "we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are. Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?" But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied. Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."

Jesus wasn't American and, therefore, doesn't belong on American currency. Also, the people on the currency are real people. (Can be PROVEN to be real.)
