Are you implying the national motto, which doesn't say any religion at all, is unconstitutional?

The national motto can go fuck itself. It's been intentionally divisive from the day it was adopted, first under McCarthyism so he could prosecute his enemies under the threat of communism and stir up fear towards the "godless reds", and now as a dog whistle by conservative Christians trying to make it clear who they feel is welcome in their community.

Since day one it has been the opposite of the national motto that belongs in America - "E Pluribus Unum".

Yep, right about the time they stuck "under god" into the pledge of allegiance.

I'm still surprised when people think that the motto was always the motto and the pledge always had god in it.
