I think Kadath gave very good reasons why His name belongs nowhere on our currency. I believe He would take great offense to having us associate God so.

So deal with it and find another thing to worry your pretty little heads.

Protestants made up the majority of Americans, but the wording and structure of our early government was dominated by Deists. Which is pretty close to being Agnostic today.
I have gone very thoroughly into the inspirations used for our government, Biblical law was only one of many including the text many other ancient societies.
Majority Rule is not correct. If you want that, go find a country that is a Democracy. We are a Republic.
