Thats pretty close to being blasphemy on an extreme level!
Is this the same God in the old testament, the God who instructed his followers to kill and slaughter mercilessly, anyone who blasphemes him, including women and children, entire towns?
The people were not just blaspheming God, they were engaging in evil religious practices, like incest and child sacrifice. Do you not think that people who rape and kill children in the name of God should be punished? I bet God does.

Not relevant to the discussion. The point is why are you upset over something that's been our national motto since pretty much the founding of our country?

E pluribus unum?
I assume you don't mean "In God We Trust", which was made the motto during the communist scare in the 1950s, around the same time "Under God" was added to the pledge.
Florida House votes to FORCES schools to display ‘In God We Trust’
If the Florida House of Representatives has its way, all public schools in the Sunshine State will soon be required to post the words “In God We Trust” — the state’s motto — on all campuses where students and staff can see them.
The House voted on the legislation Wednesday — 97 to 10, with members standing and applauding the results — after finding time to debate and approve a bill declaring pornography a “public health risk.”
Yet the House refused, 71 to 37, to take up a bill this week to ban assault weapons, which had been supported by student survivors of the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, where a gunman killed 17 people. The students had gone to the state capital to push for gun control and were in the gallery when the gun legislation was raised. Some were dismayed by the legislators’ inaction.
Which god? There are @ 5,000 of them currently working the crowd right now. A lot of people do not, you know. If gods and prayers did anything, we wouldn't be talking about gun control.
"In God we Trust" is both the state's and national motto. It's on our currency, in court rooms, and even on the police cars in two local departments near me. What's the big deal?
"In God We Trust" was put on American currency officially in 1956, although it did occasionally appear as far back as the Civil War.
This was the first coinage issued in the United States, the Continental Dollar. It bore the motto that we should be using still.
