Also, you seem to be implying that non-monotheists are a small, irrelevant group. According to the 2001 census, the percentage of Buddhists, Hindus, atheists, and "others" totaled 15.7%. Not a huge number, but still significant. |
Again, there is a big difference between the two. "White Power" endorses a ideology that is directly counter to large groups of people (namely, any non-white). "In God we Trust" isn't. Anyone who sees it that way is chosing to not based on anything that has happened in the last 300+ years, but more because THEY are opposed to monotheistic traditions.
