Voice Your Support: Keep 'In God We Trust' on U.S. Currency - NBC Poll

In summary, "In God We Trust" is the official motto of the United States, representing the country's recognition of a higher power and the importance of faith and trust. It was adopted in 1956 and has been on U.S. currency since 1864. The decision to include it on currency was made during the Civil War to promote unity and faith in the nation. While there have been attempts to remove it, it remains to this day and any changes would require congressional action. Some have suggested using "E pluribus unum" as a secular alternative, but there is no official alternative motto for those who do not believe in God. The phrase has been challenged in court, but the majority of rulings have upheld its constitutionality

1. What is the meaning behind "In God We Trust"?

"In God We Trust" is the official motto of the United States. It was adopted in 1956, but has appeared on U.S. currency since 1864. It represents the country's recognition of a higher power and the importance of faith and trust in that power.

2. Why is "In God We Trust" printed on U.S. currency?

The decision to include "In God We Trust" on U.S. currency can be traced back to the Civil War. During a time of great unrest and division, the U.S. Treasury Secretary believed that adding the phrase to currency would promote unity and faith in the nation.

3. Is "In God We Trust" a violation of the separation of church and state?

There is much debate surrounding this question. The phrase has been challenged in court multiple times, but the majority of rulings have upheld its constitutionality. The phrase has been argued to be a historical and patriotic expression rather than a religious statement.

4. Can "In God We Trust" be removed from U.S. currency?

While there have been attempts to remove the phrase from currency, it remains to this day. In 2013, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to reaffirm the motto and its placement on currency. Any changes to the motto would require congressional action.

5. Are there any alternative mottos for those who do not believe in God?

There is no official alternative motto for those who do not believe in God. However, some have suggested using "E pluribus unum" (out of many, one) as a secular alternative. This phrase was the unofficial motto of the country until "In God We Trust" was adopted in 1956.
