Should "In God We Trust be removed from American currency?

We seem to have done well with the monetary system the way it is. I certainly don't see a significant threat to the American way of life because of it.

The movement to remove the motto from the currency seems more like a bunch of rebels in search of a cause or people looking for something to do with too much spare time.

Keep in mind that Separation of Church and State is not in the Constitution anywhere. It was an opinion handed down from the Supreme Court based on some written memoirs of Thomas Jefferson.

Even the First Amendment only forbids government from establishing a state religion. The intent is to prevent there being only one religion and excluding all others. It is not intended to evict all references of religion from government.

Why? It doesn't say "In the Christian God we trust." It just says God. If you're an atheist or agnostic, you could take that to mean that you yourself are the supreme power in your own life ... or something like that.

Maybe a Muslim reads that and thinks of it as trusting in Allah, or a Jewish person thinks about YHWH, or a new-ager as The Universe, or a republican as Karl Rove. ;)
