I'd say our legal system is structured around the Consitution, which has this to say on the matter.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...

Now, considered that "In God We Trust" as a national motto was instituted by an act of congress, it would seem that this treads very closely to an unconstitutional situation. Majority rule doesn't apply in this instance, but since the amount of people who will change who they vote for based on whether or not four little words printed on money will get changed is such a tiny, tiny minority, it's going to end up sticking around.
Think about what Art says: It's not necessary - True. It's not appropriate - True. So there's simply no point in keeping it on there, and to claim that the religions of the founding fathers is reason to keep it on is to ignore
what the founding fathers very intentions were.
