[QUOTE="porphyria:891858"][IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/dd/Igwtcontro.jpg[/IMG] The motto is opposed by some but it is still widely popular among Americans. 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.[/QUOTE]
