I personally don't believe in god. I am not asking for anything to say something about me NOT believe in something or someone. It isn't a huge deal or anything, but I am curious to see how others feel on the subject.

Some people who are more religious think that it should stay because they do believe in god. But why should people that don't believe have it on their money. Maybe there should be one with in god we trust on it and another with nothing.

Yes. Promptly.
It's a violation of the establishment clause, and it's simply not true. I'd think that a fiat currency would at least want to avoid having any obvious falsehoods on it.

I personally don't care one way or the other. I truly don't know why it should matter to anyone.
The question is would fundamentalist stop using money if they took it out?

I believe that "In God We Trust" should be removed from all of our currency, it was only added in 1954 for make us seem even more contrary to the Soviet Union. "In God We Trust" is nothing more than a byproduct of McCarthyism. The Soviet Union has collapsed, it no longer serves a purpose and many Americans do not trust in god.

I agree.
What does god have to due with currency?
And, it should be removed from the Pledge of Allegiance as well.
It wasn't there when the founding fathers first wrote it. But implemented during the 50's with the Cold War.

I personally do trust in God. Why is it okay for you to have your faith but me not to have mine.

Yes. Our government should be totally secular.

I would imagine some fundamentalist Christian group will attack very soon and the catastrophe will lead to a steep drop in Christian influence in the US. The money will change soon.

Do we trust in God to solve our problems? No. So having that expression on our currency would be a lie.
