To me, "in god we trust" is an ironic thing to put on money, because the people who have the most of it generally are the farthest from having any sort of clue what christ was about. "In god we trust" should be followed by "we hope he isn't pissed that we're completely ignoring anything valuable in his son's teachings".
The presence of god in u.s. rhetoric to me is just another example of how politicians exploit the underwhelming critical thinking skills of the average american. God is to the bible belt as the race card is to the inner city.
