If we start to remove "Under God", "In God We Trust", etc. etc. from things in the United States, I'm wondering if it's going to set a precedent for other... stupider things.
For example, will a public school student one day be suspended for saying, "The writing's on the wall?"
I'm always puzzled by that--people don't want to acknowledge God, but they're fine with the idioms and things that have snuck into our culture that are based in Christianity.
Gesundheit.

On the other hand, in the entire 200-or-so-year history of the U.S., we don't have a single reported case of an individual or a group saying that they were dissuaded from committing theft, burglary, embezzlement, counterfeiting, bribery, or fraud because they were frightened by or felt guilty from reading "In God We Trust" on the money involved.
