I'm an American and I use American money (although not cash very often). I even believe in fiat currency.
But I do not believe in God and if I did, I'm not sure I'd trust him.
Does this mean I am not an American or that I should use some other currency?

Just because it's not hurting anyone doesn't make it good. Would you apply that same arguement to, say, gay marriage? It doesn't hurt anyone, but I'm guessing you like the government regulating that.

I think it's a hollow jesture to boost Christians' egos and is completely unnecessary. It's not a big deal, but I think we should get rid of it.

Too bad for you. The American people of today, unlike the Americans who made the Constitution, don't believe that the duty to declare trust, or distrust, in God is a matter of individual choice.

It does grave injury to the rights of conscience and it violates God's jurisdiction.

After reading about the way he messed with Abraham's head by demanding he go through with that bizarre mock human sacrifice of Isaac -- well, I don't know that I would trust him, either. I mean, really now -- what kind of deity gets their jollies by forcing people to do such things?
