<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dbblsanta, post: 343586, member: 9189&quot;]Ugh. This argument had no validity to it the first time it was made, and it doesn&#039;t have any validity to it now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Private citizens and businesses and churches can put up whatever religious signs or symbols they want on their property, but the government does not have the right to establish a religion. It doesn&#039;t make a difference if 50% of the people believe in that religion, or 99%, or even 100% of the people believe in that religion. The government cannot establish a religion, and by having our national motto be &quot;In God We Trust,&quot; the government has established a monotheistic religion. The government must be religion-neutral. It would be just as unconstitutional to have our motto be &quot;There Is No God.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course there are more important things to worry about, but really, a secular government should not have that motto. It is completely inappropriate and does the EXACT OPPOSITE of what a national motto is supposed to do: unite the people of a country under one banner. I much prefer our original nation motto: E Pluribus Unum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
