If it is more than a slogan, isn't it a bit ironic that God is referenced in such a secular manner as appearing on money? When they did this was the religion being respected that of capitalism? Most conventional monotheistic religions would not honor God by using the most secular vehicle available, money.

If it is more than a slogan, what impact doe it have? In my view those are just word on a piece of paper. The words, "Legal Tender" printed on some money actually has a meaning.
