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 filled Thursday that the motto is an unconstitutional endorsement of religion. Newdow, a Sacramento doctor and lawyer, used a similar argument when challenged the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools because is contains the words "under God"
The majority of the United States hold to Christen beliefs, yet it is the minority that are being heard, making new rules, and taking away our rights to practice religion. Why are we standing in a dark corner? BE PROUD to be a Christen, and stand in the Light so everyone can see you. "In God we Trust" is more then just a motto, It brings hope to the destitute, It brings peace to those that morn, It brings Comfort to those that have lost everything. And if we take away "In God we Trust" then we are giving up on all of that.
Be Heard! NBC is holding a poll to see our views about the U.S. motto, place a vote and be heard. "In God we Trust" Stays.
