Replace "God" in official U.S. money, mottos, and slogans

Created by T.B. on January 19, 2013

We acknowledge the right of other citizens to believe in a God, in accordance with their religious freedoms. The undersigned do not seek to impinge that right.

We seek a free unity of U.S. citizens, regardless of religious beliefs, but several national sayings discourage such unity. The most prominent of these are "In God We Trust" on our currency and "under God" in our pledge.

Many U.S. citizens do not believe in any God, and many U.S. citizens believe in multiple gods. We believe that keeping "God" in those sayings, in the face of a secularizing nation, discriminates against our own citizens. The undersigned seek to amend these national sayings to include all Americans.
