Ahhh Politcs and Religion! Few things can stir up a hornets nest more than this combination. In my ideal world, our currency would not make any reference to God, but just like many have said, I find it to be such a small matter compared to war, economy, environment... What irks me is that so many people belive that "In God we trust" and "under God" have been part of the American vernacular since the founding of our nation. The bulk of these phrases came into popular use during the 1950's as a stand against the "Godless Communists". I firmly believe that we only make our government weaker and dilute our religion when we mix the two - it's a lousy cocktail with a nasty hangover.
