What about atheists? That’s not just the non-acceptance of, but also insult to them. Even in judiciary, ten commandments are inscribed in books.
Note: No offense to anyone.

How is that an insult to Atheists? people are allowed to believe whatever they want to believe. So if some choose to say that they trust in God, they have a right to.

Yes, we are a free secular nation.
Our laws are not religious in nature, and our government is not controlled by any religion. Yes, there are religious sayings around, but that is merely aesthetics, not laws.

Yes it is but yes I agree that we should replace all of our currency at the cost of billions so that the 6% or so of atheists in the USA feel better..

We’ve never been a secular nation. The government has always acknowledged the importance of religion to most people, the two just don’t get intertwined.

The US was founded on freedom of religion, people came here to escape religious persecution. If they dont like the religious undertones America was founded on they can move to Canada.

Maybe you should go live in Iran for a few years and let me know.

"I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ."
Does this offend you?

The motto IN GOD WE TRUST was placed on United States coins largely because of the increased religious sentiment existing during the Civil War. Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase received many appeals from devout persons throughout the country, urging that the United States recognize the Deity on United States coins. From Treasury Department records, it appears that the first such appeal came in a letter dated November 13, 1861. It was written to Secretary Chase by Rev. M. R. Watkinson, Minister of the Gospel from Ridleyville, Pennsylvania

That is not religious, and I believe that this issue went all the way to the Supreme Court which ruled on the matter to be a slogan…not an endorsement of a God.

When US currency no longer had silver to back it up in the sixties they changed the wording from "Silver Certificate" to "In God We Trust".

Everyone has a god or God, even atheists because they all worship something like money or themselves. I think this country has greater problems than worrying about changing our currency. This nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and anyone who does not believe that does not know American history.

This is not a secular nation. This is a Christian Nation. The basic founding principles that this entire system of government is based on are of a Religious nature. Christian, to be exact.
From our first founding document, the Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truthes to be selfevident. That all men are created equal and are endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable rights…"
The most important founding principle is that our "rights" come from God, not from this or any other government. Thus, they cannot be removed from us by this or any other government. That is crucial. The religious tolerance we also have right in the First Amendment of the Constitution was, at the time, a very Christian principle. It was adopted in direct response to the Religious persecution many of the various Christian sects suffered in other Countries.
I also submit that it is not posible to insult Atheists. Insult them about what? They believe in nothing. Fine. If they choose to believe in nothing, then let them. How is believing in something an insult? We have the phrase "in God we Trust" on our currency because that is the very basis upon which this country was founded; trust in God.
Below are some quotes from our Founding Fathers. You have to heed these words, if you consider yourself to be an American. It was these men who wrote the Founding Documents, you know.
