Lawsuit demands US remove 'In God We Trust' from money

A new lawsuit filed on behalf of several Atheist plaintiffs argues the phrase "In God We Trust" on U.S. money is unconstitutional, and calls for the government to get rid of it.

Sacramento attorney Michael Newdow filed the lawsuit Monday in Akron, Ohio. He'd unsuccessfully sued the government at least twice challenging the use of the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Throughout much of his lawsuit, the word appears as "G-d."

Newdow claims "In God We Trust" violates the separation of church and state. One plaintiff says his Atheism is "substantially burdened because he is forced to bear on his person a religious statement that causes him to sense his government legitimizing, promoting and reinforcing negative and injurious attitudes not only against Atheists in general, but against him personally."

This is that clown that tried to sue over the Pledge a number of years back, claiming it offended his kid to make him say it.

He made a complete fool of himself (and his kid). Apparently he learned nothing.

I really bet he likes money though. Don't like what it says, don't look at it, don't use it. Matter of fact, give it away!!

Would it be okay to use the saying “IN GOD(S) SOME OF US TRUST”? That will cover all bases, whether you’re Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu or atheist.

Nice try 8:14, since that has always been the truth it will never fly, the world system loves lies better than the truth.

"Freedom from religion" is not in the Constitution.

This is a slippery slope... Our constitution has God in it as well... Should we change that? NO !
