[QUOTE="Suarez, post: 4025972, member: 99239"]I'm wondering where general sentiment on the whole issue of whether In God We Trust belongs on our currency from the collecting community. From what I can tell the population at large couldn't care less but a number of legal challenges have appeared over the years. These have so far been unsuccessful as you probably know but with America becoming more secular and diverse by the day I think it's only a matter of time. The opinion of the court rulings have so far basically tried to write it all off as "tradition" and being so generic that it's no longer really a religious message but, from a legal framework point of view, those are pretty weak arguments. If the Supreme Court were to hear a future case the legal team representing the status quo side would need a much sturdier argument imo. So the question becomes, is there such a case to be made or is the strategy pretty much to stonewall and hope that the issue remain in the background (or gets bogged down in lower court rulings if a new lawsuit shows up)? In case there's any interest in this thread I'd be happy to argue the underdog position! Rasiel[/QUOTE]
