Nothing would be violated. It would only reinforce the idea that, as a Nation, we are a diverse group of people who have different beliefs, different values and different gods.

This is not a Christian nation. The US was founded on the expressed lack of religion. Thomas Jefferson, for instance, was an atheist.

"Say nothing of my religion. It is known to my god and myself alone."

"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."

"I am for freedom of religion, & against all maneuvres to bring about a legal ascendancy of one sect over another."

"I never will, by any word or act, bow to the shrine of intolerance, or admit a right of inquiry into the religious opinions of others."

"Among the most inestimable of our blessings is that … of liberty to worship our Creator in the way we think most agreeable to His will; a liberty deemed in other countries incompatible with good government and yet proved by our experience to be its best support."

– Thomas Jefferson

There is no mention of God on Australian Coins and Bills… HEHE

EDIT: To Angus: Seperation of CHurch and State you idiot

For one thing there is NO Xtian. We are CHRISTians. remove the quote ( IN GOD WE TRUST ) you are denying God,and putting this nation into a place you do now wish to be. God must come first.

None.
It shouldn't be on there, it makes the US appear incredibly stupid.

The Right Wing?

None to my knowledge, I think it should be removed because we are all not religious, but it doesn't really matter to me

No rights would really be violated by removing it, its just stupid to remove it. The "separation of church and state" argument is bs, because it says nothing of the sort in constitution, its a freedom of religion clause. I don't think any inherent rights are violated by removing it though

None, the constitution was violated when it was put on coins and in the pledge of allegiance in the first place.

it would offend the christian people.. a majority of the united states is christian and shouldn't have to change things because of people entering our country.. they don't change for us

Denial that their true god is money.

To think the "name of god" even goes into stripper g-strings and traded into the hands of drug dealers. Do you REALLY want your god's name on it?

The money would lose it's value of course.

No seriously, just remove it yourself like I do. I use a Sharpie marker and cross out "god" from all of my money.

Since when was god ever associated with money.Heck…take it off.Does anyone actually believe god wanted or asked to be associated with it.THINK

It doesn't violate a "right"…

What it does do is further the irrational bigotry against Christians and further exposes the "tolerant" as being mainly intolerant. Even if you don't believe in God…you have to ask yourself why it still bothers you so much that you would go on a crusade to eliminate tradition.

None.

I think Atheists misunderstand.

While America may not be a Christian Nation, it is and always has been a nation of Christians. Christians, being in the vast majority (for America was specifically founded so that Christians could live without Rome's persecution), built this nation and formed its society and culture - albeit with the help of a minority which at least knew that they were building a nation made for Christians, as clearly stated by Washington, and that if they did not want to be part of that then they were free to live their lives in private without destroying what was built. For example, i would never go and become a citizen of Saudi Arabia and then demmand that they change their entire culture in order to suit my personal faith which is contrary to their's. That would be appallingly arrogant. Now, yes of course you have the freedom to believe something different, however, that right is not a license to undermine our society. We will not change our society for you simply because you don't want to participate in it. To force a nation of Christians to alter our entire way of life just because you choose to do your own thing is as absurd as foreigners coming to America and expecting us to surrender our culture and way of life to conform to the culture they came from.

[Your thumbs down demonstrates your total ignorance of the history of America and shows you to be a dangerous threat to society]

I think one should not mess with GOD [smiling]

In a "free enterprise" economy like ours, you cannot live without using money. You can't spend US currency without expressing a religious belief. A person who doesn't believe that particular belief is compelled to express it anyway. Of course, this all falls under the heading of "c'mon people, surely you have more important things to complain about — at least you *have* money."

Interestingly, the pledge was originally written by a Methodist minister, and it did *not* include the words "under God." Those words were added during the Cold War, to make us feel superior to the "Godless comunists." I guess it worked.

As a Christian, I have no opinion about it whatsoever. When I pledge my allegiance to the flag, I'm pledging allegiance to the flag. When I pray to God, I'm praying to God. So leave it in, take it out, whatever you will.

Where did you get the idea that the founding fathers of this nation meant the Christian God specifically?

By and large, they were deists - not Christians.

God bless you.

Our founding fathers were religious, they based a lot of what the U.S. is today off of their beliefs, when they said there will be freedom of religion they meant, we're religious, but you can stay here if you want. So by choosing to live here you choose to deal with a religious country. This whole remove things relating to religion from the U.S. is like being a welcome guest in a religious person's house and demanding that they remove all the pictures/statues of their god because they're letting you live there.
If it annoys you, you can choose to leave.

that's just my opinion about the situation, to answer your question, no rights would be violated.

You said exactly what I wanted to say.
I read a story about a king who wanted to conquer a nation but could not, so he called a prophet to put a curse on them so they would fall. The prophet was unable to curse them but told the king to send his women to intermarry with the men he wanted to destroy, that way those men would follow the kings gods and beliefs and turn their back on their own God and regect His help and they would fall.
The easiest way to destroy a nation is by contamination; destroy their religion and the family unit, and it will crumble at the faundation: God and family.
We will all be held accountable, the choice is ours. Once we stop breathing, it will be too late to change.
