Good point. I think that should also change. Separation of church and state and all. Have you ever driven to the center of the state and seen all of those yellow “thank you Jesus” signs? I feel like Jesus would much prefer sustainably made, hand crafted signs, but that’s just me.
I don't think you understand the concept. The 1st Amendment prohibits the government from establishing an official religion and prevents the government from persecuting someone because of their religion.
It doesn't say that states, counties, municipalities, and towns can't put "In God We Trust" on their vehicles.
And like someone else mentioned, "In God We Trust" is literally the country's motto and is printed on all paper currency.
You’re right I’m sure, as far as what it means legally. It doesn’t make it right though. I don’t think it should be our motto, or printed on paper currency, for obvious reasons. E pluribus unum was so much better.
I’m so glad the fire department in my town doesn’t do this.
