Why does the Virginia DMV have a license plate that says "In God We Trust" with the American flag?
In the absence of a unified consensus on the question does "Does God exist" why is it so damn difficult for the American government which taxes me to understand that the government has absolutely no right to write a controversial word like "God" on government property, paper money and license plates because it is disrespectful to secular American citizens like myself. What if a Liberal Atheist that loves Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine, the OG liberals that would have taken out King Donald and I want to have the American flag on my car's license plate without the word "God"? Will the government comply with my request? Even those who argue that the word "God" can also be interpreted to mean a supernatural creator apart from monotheistic thought, that still is a violation of freedom of religion because an Atheist like myself also rejects Deism because I don't believe that an all powerful supernatural creator could create a universe and not have a recollection of what's going on in it for the same B.S. reason that Christians want to special plead and say that God doesn't have to know everything at once and didn't know what was going to happen in the garden of Eden or be partially responsible for the creation of evil and pain in this world.

Perhaps you would like to give all your money away since "In God We Trust" is on all American currency. We wouldn't want to disrupt your little bubble.

Interesting rant. So order a personalized plate without the word "God" on it. That's called "the Government complying with your request."
I don't know what "Christians want to special plead" means.

While you may object to this fact it's a fact! The pilgrims came to the United States of America for freedom to worship God and to avoid taxation without representation.
Our entire Constitution is based on the freedom to worship God without being told how to do it. No place in the foundation of the United States will you find anything about the pilgrims coming here because they objected to worshiping God.
The idea of the freedom not to worship God and to preach that he doesn't exist was added at a later time.
You have the right to litigate and to lobby for your idea.
And if by a majority of the votes of the people of the United States they say that it should be a law then you now have a law. Until then by all means exercise your right to lobby and to try to make a law.
Until that law gets signed into being it's just like any other thing it's a bill in litigation.

It is an abbreviation of the common expression "In God We Trust--all others pay cash." (Why is it so obvious, but only to me?)

The Declaration of Independence, declares that our inalienable rights of life, freedom, and a pursuit of happiness are natural laws granted to all by Natures God. The country only came to be due to a communial trust in God.
