Does it bother anybody that US currency has "In God We Trust" printed on it?

Question

I'm not saying it bothers me. I'm very Catholic actually. But I do respect others' views.

Answer 1

As a Buddhist, it does not bother me, even if I do not believe in a God. Our country was founded on general beliefs of Christian teachings to honor the fellow man (Which happened to be only white males at the time, but thats another discussion), to not kill in vain, etc. While God is commonly associated with the Christian idol, it can take many forms to many other religions. I was lucky enough to have been born in this country, so I would be obligated to respect some of its customs, whether they be my own or not. In short, I see it as "In Faith We Trust," as a reminder to not give up.

Answer 2

|It's abit odd considering themassive changes that the country has undergone since it rose into existance in the sense of western civilization that included Christianity.
I suppose Americans just don't care as much about religion, so they don't bother if it's on their currency just as long as they have a lot of currecy |(|if you know what I mean) and since the minority groups that due serve other gods or follow other religions are well.... Minorities, they aren't highly thought of and often refrain from voicing opinion due to language barriers among other obstacles that restrict them...
sad but true.
It personally does notbotherme and I believe it should be true but i do respect the opinions of others.

Answer 3

It bothers me when it ain't on there! God's principles and laws is what made this country in the beginning...so what is the big deal about it now? People need to wake up and realize how bad this country is and how much we need Him...if this country keeps on, we are going to have more to worry about than just hurricanes and terrorist!!!! Somebody better pray for this country!!!

Answer 4

Why would it bother me. If it pays my bills and gets me what I want then I have no problem. Now if it said "In God We Trust so This $50 bill is useless" THEN I would have a problem. LOL

Answer 5

As an agnostic and a person who believes in the separation of church and state, yes, it bothers me. But I don't think it's going to get taken off anytime soon.

Answer 6

i'm greater interior the-- "yeah, it relatively is incorrect, regardless of the undeniable fact that it relatively is inconsequential so why positioned up a combat" If people desire to push to take it off i in my view would not care and that i could even sign a petition for it, yet in all honesty it relatively is totally low on my record of priorities. If atheists desire to rally around a reason they could desire to call for the removal of amendments in state constitutions that require perception in God to serve in workplace.

Answer 7

It bothers me that our currency gives an outsider (foreigner, non-native, whatever you wanna call them) the assumption that I believe in somebody elses god, yes.

Answer 8

The currency doesn't bug me as much because we need all the help we can get, but the god part in the pledge of allegiance does bug me.

Answer 9

I suspect the rest of the world finds it painful that we in any way mention God, considering our actions around the world.

Answer 10

I am a Christian, but yes it does. We built this nation on the belief that people could have religious freedom, and then we throw god in everyones face. I mean, you could choose not to be enrolled in a Catholic school but you cant just not use money.
