I made it earlier. So have several others. I'm sorry you missed it.
LOL
So Congress democratically( with large majorities) passed legislation permitting “ in God we trust
on US currency. President Eisenhower the supreme leader of our wwIi effort signed the Bill completing the Constitutional requirements of a Law. That law has withstood legal challenges that
have not been controversial. 90 per cent of Americans,when asked, have no problem with the words. 80 per cent of Americans profess some sort of religious belief. Yet our country has no state sponsored religion. Many Americans, most of all atheists, from time to time have protested that
“ in God we trust” promotes the establishment of a religion but cannot convince the Courts or their fellow citizens. And so it goes.
Yes, so it goes.
At another point in time, the majority believed in slavery. They believed in anti-miscegenation laws. They believed women should not vote and that Negroes were less than human. They believe Indians should not be allowed to vote. They believed that a white woman who married an Asian should lose her citizenship. The Court hid on whether it was okay to lock up the Japanese-Americans.
The SCOTUS currently believes if you do not tell police that you are invoking your right to remain silent, you lose it.
What's YOUR point? That a country can espouse whatever beliefs it wants, but we should not expect them to honor it?
We knew that, already. Your type of hypocrisy is most common among a substantial percentage of our people.
Congratulations. You lose.
But, as I also said, in a country where Donald Trump is President one of the last things I concern myself with is the language on a coin.
How does Trump enter this discussion or is he the center of your universe?

He doesn't. That's the point you have once again managed to totally overlook.
It'd be amazing were it not so commonplace.
Trump's evil deeds make little hypocrisies like "In God We Trust" on our coins seem like a quaint item to be ignored as a distraction from important issues to him. Mostly to me, too, except for its illustrating how corrupt our people are, even when they have no investment in the conclusion.
