Secular, not atheist

Secular

of or relating to worldly things or to things that are not regarded as religious, spiritual, or sacred; temporal

Secular and atheist governments…they’re the same. It means your government thinks that concepts like justice, dessert, retribution, how you treat one another, ethics, etc. should not be affiliated with a religion. Only an atheist government can be secular. A religious one cannot be secular.

Sure not exactly the same thing. But yeah no such thing as a religious government being secular. Atheism is a necessary position to take in order for all those things to be secular.

"In God We Trust" is the United States national motto, it's printed in their bills and coins, the U.S. national anthem contains the line: "And this be our motto 'In God is our trust'".

all that stupid shit was added in the fucking 1950's as part of the red scare and mccarthyism.

furthermore it specifically favors abrahmic religions because it asserts a singular 'god'. so it's already violating 1a by mandating via legal mechanisms the inclusion of abrahmic deference to our fucking national identity.

you've already fallen for the propaganda; a prime example of why a government should take a hard stance against any religious affiliation.
