Considering that US currency is backed by nothing but a fictive faith in nothing, let the silly thing stay. It fits.
Now if you really want to get rebellious, demand they take down that huge Egyptian monument to George Washington and repave all the streets to remove all that Freemasonic symbolism.
The media is not owned by the government. We don't want to ban "God". We want to ban "God" from the government.
Ultimately though the point is to remove God and religion so that the government can legislate morals and ethics. With no "higher power" people will see the government as their "god" to make the rules by which they live.
Now that government is getting into social issues they have to contend with religious beliefs which are getting in the way.

That's what I see happening.
That's not the ultimate point. The point is to preserve religion separately from the government. No one is saying don't practice whatever you want.
You honestly don't see how impractical and meaningless that suggestion is? Money is meant for trade and transactions. It will have to be removed from all money to be effective since it constantly exchanges hands.

Nope as usual you have it all wrong. The point is that the government makes laws not based on any one religon. One god is not to be put above another god or religion. This country was based on many who like Jefferson and Franklin who were Deist not Christian. Paine was an Atheist or Agnostic even though that word was not used at that time. IGWT was not put on our money thill the mid 1950s. What god? Allah? Buddah? Jehovah? Satan? or the god of money itself? Nope you need to take your religion back to the pulpit where it belongs.

The ground-floor of the establishment of secular liberal 'progressivism' as a sort of new-day religion, yes.
Although the reason that slogan was put on the money was not due entirely to the Cold War & McCarthyism, previously the official US motto was E Pluribus Unum, from the Masonic Founding Fathers. Including In God We Trust on the currency started with (of all people) Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase, founding godfather of the national banking system & (thru so many horse-drawn carriages full of backroom deals) Chase Manhattan Bank back during the Civil War, where it appeared on some coins from the era but not wholeheartedly on all the money, a fuller inclusion being blocked by Congress.
Are you one of the other religion people who is offended by those words? If not why do you want me to add my name to the list of signers? I won't, you know.
