| I am an atheist and I have no problem with "in god we trust", "god bless america", or "one nation under god."  It's nothing but morale-boosting rhetoric, and it in no way harms anyone to have it on our currency or in our schools.  Compare our religious freedoms with that of Iraq under Saddam Hussein and perhaps you will see how ridiculous the "wipe god off of everything!" argument is.
 Those who claim to be atheists, and have a serious problem with hearing or reading the word "God" need to do a couple of things.  First, learn to take yourself less seriously, because what you are comfortable with is not the number one priority for the nation.  Second, re-evaluate your choice of theology because if your beliefs (or anti-beliefs) are so fragile that you cannot be presented with an "opposing" viewpoint, then perhaps atheism is not for you.
