Atheist challenges In God We Trust Pledge of Allegiance foe Newdow sues to remove motto from U.S. currency
updated 9:09 p.m. CT, Fri., Nov. 18, 2005 SAN FRANCISCO - An atheist who has spent four years trying to ban the Pledge of Allegiance from being recited in public schools is now challenging the motto printed on U.S. currency because it refers to God.
Michael Newdow seeks to remove In God We Trust from U.S. coins and dollar bills, claiming in a federal lawsuit filed Thursday that the motto is an unconstitutional endorsement of religion.
Newdow, a Sacramento doctor and lawyer, used a similar argument when he challenged the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools because it contains the words under God.

I ran into some websites that the Hitlary! supports got together backing McCain. Call themselves McCain Dem’s. Ironic, ain’t it? Cat fights on both sides...
What do they want on the money “In Liberals We Trust”?
Better leave it on. The only thing you can trust about the dollar anymore.
Which Religion?
Methodism? Are they the only ones who say G-d?
Reform Judism?
Islam?
Presbyterianism?
Oh, any religion (except atheism). Then it is not offensive to religion, or doesnt support a religion, just doesn’t support YOUR religion, Mr. Newdow.
Yes, I am an atheist. I recognize him as a wacko.

*sigh* Newdow again

Judge turns down atheist's suit challenging 'In God We Trust'
Yeah, him again. Wonder what that “fragile” soul will be “offended” by next?
OOPS! Maybe I can’t READ! Just noticed the date. Thanks.
Note to self: Do not ASSuME that something is current just because it’s in the inbox.
Then the secular humanists can substitute: in the state we trust
LOVED the way you put it. You get my DITTO.
Hey, I see y’all have been busy. Thanks for all the work you put in.
Yes!
We should change it to: "In Jesus Christ We Trust."
I think we need to be a little more specific about the God we place our trust in.
Carry on.
Rotflol!
That'll sail through Congress. They're good at approving things that haven't been true in this nation for a long time.
We should change it to: “In Jesus Christ We Trust.”
I agree .
Because if we did, we would not be interfering in other nations business without being asked. We would not be in debt up to our collective butts either. The list could go on and on.
It's an intentionally far cry from "Jesus Christ, Lord, Savior, Kinsman Redeemer, Light of the World, and the only reality by whom all things consist."
It's not an endorsment of religion, it's just a statement of fact.
