I feel it will be coming with all of the separation of church and state talk.

This issue has vacillated back and forth since the country was founded. You will note that the last few Supreme Court rulings on the issue of religion were extremely narrow - 4 to 5 or 5 to 4 and not at all lopsided. Remember every Justice is sworn in on a Bible as are the members of Congress, Senate, President and the majority of the appointed officials. In courtrooms across the nation - most testimony is given after the witness has sworn on the bible to tell the truth -- etc.
A lot of change must take place before God is removed from our currency.

Considering that the U.S. Government DOESN'T trust in God and that many Christians in our country have become slothful servants to Christ, it would certainly make sense for that motto to be removed as it is obviously a dwindling truth.

The sepparation of church and state is not a mandate for atheism, or even legally enforced secularism. Acknowledging 'God' - who could be any god, from Allah, to Yaweah, to Jesus's Dad, to the fuzzy universal concepts of Theism and Deism - does not 'touch upon' the establishment of religion.
I wouldn't mind seeing it go, but it doesn't /need/ to go.

interesting question:
In our nation, many say they believe in christ, but few live it.
Those words should serve as a reminder to all, that we cannot trust in our money, our goverment, or our millitary might.
We can only trust in God, and his will, his strength.
that is why that was inscribed on our coins... to remind people who founded this nation, and the character of those who founded it.
So - no... do not remove it, even if we have trust in false doctrine... hopefully He will remind us soon of what we should be putting our trust in.

Those who are bothered by "In God We Trust" on our coins, or "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance are nit-picking, paranoid, atheist nuts who need to find something productive to do with their spare time.

No,leave it alone. If you or anybody else don't like it,take it to the bank and convert it into some other currency.

The phrase doesnt endorse one religion nor does it ESTABLISH a state religion which is what the founders were against- the ESTABLISHMENT of a state religion like the Church of England

yes because it promotes an official religion which violates the first ammendment, and since the money changers in the temple so ticked off Jesus having this phrase on money is EXTREMELY hypocritical.
