I'm going to start writing this on my one dollar bills.
Also, The "Under god" in the US pledge of allegiance was added in the 50's to separate us from the 'evil godless commies' Whereas the pledge itself was made just to sell more flags.
Yes unfortunately this is correct, the united states by law isn't supposed to play favorites with religion.
think of it this way though. saying in god we trust means that we are actaully saying, we trust in a greay=ter ideal. which at the time for us seemed to be god.
in all reality it should be in liberty we trust, but its there and defacing money isn't going to change anything.
Because of some verses, to quote just one:
"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." Matthew 6:24
So what kind of god on that one dollar bill is trusted by its authors? Mammon, deified money?
Yes, neither of religions should be favoured, religion of money either.
This is misinformation, this was never stated in the U.S. Constitution. It was first talked about in a letter written by Thomas Jefferson. In recent years, the courts have ruled for separation of church & state.
Separation of church and state was discussed by Jefferson yes, but was based on the first amendment which reads:
["Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ....", while Article VI specifies that "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." ]
To my knowledge there are no laws that determine that the U.S. currency has a religious statement. It is just based on popular opinion which changes over time. I don't have a problem with a religion neutral government. It's when people start pushing anti-religious agendas in the guise of separation of church and state that I have a problem.
I'm not seeing your point. The evidence is there. It's not under the guise of separation of church and state, this is a national currency, acknowledging the church, which it shouldn't be.
So it's better to push secular agendas under the guise of religious agendas? As you read in the Bible (if you read it at all), God is supposed to have nothing to do with money.
Luke 16:13, Acts 8:18-20, and many other passages
So why is this on currency? Material issues, such as a national currency, as Akalonor says, shouldn't acknowledge the church.
Even Theodore Roosevelt thought it sacrilegious to do so. In either case, whether for Christians or Non-Christians and others, it shouldn't be there. For MANY reasons.
u call that One eyed bastard (anti-christ) god oh come on people u cant be that dumb!

The whole situation seems to be a bit ironic.

Yeah sure, Obama swearing on Abraham Lincoln's Bible:
