Religion isn't a part of our country's founding as I see it (we can argue that elsewhere if you'd like), but it is a part of our history as a nation .

    Put another way, there's no way to ignore the Christian religion in the context of our unabridged history in this nation. For that reason, I think it makes at least some sense to be on our printed money.



    I don't think that the existence of Christmas relies on "in God we trust" to be printed on money.

    I may not believe in certain parts of the holiday, but I still love it. Christmas is my favorite holiday. I would fight to keep it The Yule has been celebrated by ancient Norse tradition and by ancient Rome (aka saturnalia). Some of the things that are part of the current Christmas tradition predate christianity by many, many centuries. (source)
    I try to never argue religion. I strongly believe in God, but also believe he can reveal himself to anyone at his choosing without me opening my mouth.

    If heaven is real, then for my sake, I hope you are right!
