Remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance, and "In God we trust" from our currency, it violates the 1st Amendment

Created by L.W. on January 30, 2014

Remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance, and "In God we trust" from our currency, for it violates the FIRST Amendment! Not only are those instances OFFENSIVE to ANYONE who doesn't believe in God, but they must say it, look at it, and hear it EVERY time they say or hear the Pledge of Allegiance, or when they look at our currency... Furthermore, it was only in 1954, when the "Knights of Columbus", a CHRISTIAN group, convinced the CHRISTIAN Congress to add "under God" to the Pledge, apparently because they couldn't just leave it as it was. As for the currency, The Reverend M. R. Watkinson told the Treasury to add "Almighty God in some form in our coins." to show God was on Union's side in the Civil War, in 1956 we were in a tense time of the Cold War and put it on our paper currency.
