I read her post. There's nothing there that would point to the slogan being illegal. And there's also no mention in the constitution of exclusionary practices being prohibited. And it's only exclusionary if people choose to think that. I don't recall the slogan being "In God we Trust, and we are forbidding anyone to believe otherwise." If someone sees that, they are being overly sensitive and should possibly look internally instead of trying to change everyone else into fitting in their world view.
