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 Nothing would be violated.

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. For one thing there is NO Xtian.
