According to a 2003 Gallup Poll, 90% of Americans approve of the inscription on U.S. coins. The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment states that congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Critics contend that the motto's placement on money constitute a federally funded endorsement of the religious belief in God. The Supreme Court has upheld the motto because it has "lost through rote repetition any significant religious content." so-called acts of "ceremonial deism" that have lost their "history, character, and context". Constitutionalists object to sworn judiciaries regarding the United States Constitution as secondary to personal opinion and subjective historical analysis.[15][16] Some activists have been known to cross out the motto on paper money as a form of protest.The law in this regard, 18 U.S.C. § 333, is an intent-based law and since this would be a free speech act it would be unlikely a successful prosecution could occur, likewise it's very unlikely marking out the word "god" on currency is sufficient enough of a defacement for it to be declared unfit for recirculation according to the FRB's fitness standards. Outside of constitutional objections, President Theodore Roosevelt took issue with placing the motto on coinage as he considered it sacrilegious to put the name of God on money. |

| _____________________________________________ [Feb 26,2009 9:43pm - AnotherMetalDrummer ""] I dont think that changing the "In God We Trust" should be one of our nations biggest concerns right now, but for the whole "poll" purpose of this thread I think that we should keep the phrase in there. It's something that our fore fathers created and we should honor that in their honor. I know that there are people out there who dont believe in God but that number is very small compared to the worlds population. |

Obviously there are more important things going on but to me, crushing religion is pretty important as it's at the root of many worldly problems. |

| ______________________________ [Feb 27,2009 7:43am - Yeti ""] this whole thing is all well and good ideally, but you'll never purge religion from the masses. most of the population can't function without religion, despite not following its guidelines whatsoever. god is the reason we live in this wretched state of society, but at the same time, god is the reason most people do anything at all. i have always dreamed of a world free of god, but the more i think about it, people would go nuts. think about how many people you know who can't function without being told what to do, now imagine them without any internal guidance. the world would be worse without religion. |
| ___________________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 7:58am - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] But compared to say, the middle-ages? In America, I think there's a fair majority of like-minded individuals who believe life is most likely meaningless and there is no god to offer us salvation. God is a coping mechanism and faith-based thought tries to project the idea that we suffer greatly during our existence on Earth, but through blind worship, we'll be saved and immortalized within an after life. It's the biggest superstition going. This idea seems to infect susceptible individuals, especially those in 3rd world countries who need something to elevate them above the harsh realities of their sordid and bleak conditions. I'm certainly not bereft of spirituality, but if the Judeo-Christian god is some anthropomorphic deity, as many do believe, then he/she/it has got a lot to answer for. |

| ____________________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 11:52am - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] If money truly is the root of all evil, then it's only fitting that the word "god" is found on the greenback. |

| _________________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 9:30pm - Conservationist ""] As a parent, I like the idea of teaching my kids about God. I just teach them the most subversive thought there is: God is the world and nature is his benevolent hand. I have no time for atheists (secular fundamentalists) or nitwitty dualists. 99% of atheists are people who are frustrated at dualism and conservatism, not religion itself, which makes them philosophical for believing in liberal ideology, which is a secular version of Christian morality. |

But who knows maybe taking Gods name off of there will be the one thing to get him angry enough to show us he still cares about whats going on down here >:] |

Yes, good point, because America was founded by whiny, secular, unemployed pagans, with no other problems, except the welfare they collect has the word 'God' on it.:middlefinger: |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2009 11:29pm - Hater ""] The real question is, do you care enough to boycott money? I doubt it. When hardcore vegans are seriously injured and need to rehab and recoop, guess what a key element in their rehab regimen is? Eating meat. |

| ______________________________________ [Feb 28,2009 9:17pm - swamplorddvm ""] I wish to rid the world of religion. All religion based around humans. I'm for reason. But I voted no. I'm really 50/50. It's been on the dollar so long and doesnt really impose religion on us. eh. Then again, people are dumb and will process "in god we trust" as an add for god without knowing it. I guess I should have voted no. Oh well. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 28,2009 9:35pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] In CASH We Trust! |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 28,2009 10:52pm - aegathis ""] The statement "In god we trust" doesnt really give me any indication as to which God our money is refering to (unless ofcoarse there is some sacred US document about cash which I am forgetting about that states other wise ) so i would say its safe to assume its ok to trust what ever god you want. Especially since one of the big things we like to brag about having in this country is "Freedom of Religion." |
| _______________________________ [Feb 28,2009 10:57pm - Lamp ""] I voted "Yes" to take it off but I really couldn't care less since I never look at my money long enough to see "In God We Trust" on it anyway. |
