Seeing as "In God We Trust" was added to our money during the Red Scare, I think it's a funny little piece of American history. It has exactly nothing, nada, zilch to do with our nation's founding. I always find that amusing. I would prefer it wasn't there, as I think that explicitly mentioning religious beliefs on currency is unnecessary at best. I read the word "We" and I have to ask, who is "we?" It's not the American people as a whole, because "we" don't all believe in "God" or a "god." I think there are bigger issues, but I do find the whole thing annoying. To me, it's a breach of Church and State, but not a huge one and I always get a laugh out of it, so what the hey?
