"Judge Frank Damrell of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District
of California held in his opinion that "In God We Trust" is secular in
nature and use, and its appearance on coins and currency does not show
government coercion on behalf of monotheism."
I wonder if he was able to complete that opinion with a straight face?
Secular? What a CROCK.
Note - I agree that the phrase should go. Secular it AIN'T. Twist your
"logic" any way you want, but it's not secular, it's religious, and it's
holding up one religion (monotheism) over another (polytheism, atheism).
