For the same reason the phrase "under God" appears in the pledge of allegiance: to distinguish us from the communists.
While the motto had frequently appeared on coinage since the Civil War, it was not made the official US Motto until 1956, and it began appearing on paper currency the next year.
Of course, the cynic in me wants to say that the motto replaced the ability to actually redeem the paper notes for silver. That might well be another topic.....

To assert the monotheistic dominance over America.
It's purely religious advocacy -- saying one particular religious belief is dominant and approved by the US govt.
