The official motto of the United States is "In God we trust". This is a clear violation of the First amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof", by establishing a religious text for the official motto for the nation. "In God we trust" is found on all US banknotes, and is common in other parts of our government. This phrase has little significance to Americanism. A much more fitting phrase would be "E pluribus unum", literally meaning "Out of many, one". This motto represents American Exceptionalism extraordinarily better than the current. "E pluribus unum"'s contemporary interpretation is:out of many peoples, races, religions and ancestries has emerged a single people and nation.
