God isn't the president. God doesn't work for the US government. Not a lot of us trust in god. It's time for people to grow up and allow god to be worshiped in church and in the home freely, but not be endorsed by government. We are not a theocracy, we are a nation of a thousand faiths and even a lack of faith. To be fair to all, let's get on with it.

I think you may have your centuries mixed up. Check the dates on the preambles, that was long before we were fighting the 'commies'. The motto "In God We Trust" first appeared on a coin during the Civil War. You're not even close on this one.

The Congress passed the Act of April 22, 1864. This legislation changed the composition of the one-cent coin and authorized the minting of the two-cent coin. The Mint Director was directed to develop the designs for these coins for final approval of the Secretary. IN GOD WE TRUST first appeared on the 1864 two-cent coin.
