Idjits like the weenie suing over "In God We Trust" on our
currency is just another example of an activist minority
trying to force its will on a vast majority.
They're actually not doing a bad job. Not through the ballot box. Through the courts. But their ilk favor legilsation from the bench.

I guess when you can revise history to suit your leftist
agenda, anything is possible. But how in the heck do they
think that the rest of us will go along?
Leftist? A demonstrable fallacy here. There are more rightist atheists and agnostics than you would even guess, I think. I know of far more than you seem to be aware of. But then they would tell me when they wouldn't you. Religious belief (or lack thereof) and political and economic philosophy are largely independent. You can think Adam Smith and his successors were right without putting any faith in a 2,000+ year old tale.

Don't forget that there are a large nmber of LEFTIST Christians too, who think that capitalism is a violation of Christ's teachings and a rich man has no chance of salvation.

Someone explain to me how "under God" & "In God We Trust" violates:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

?????
Got me. I'm sure he's brewing trouble for all, though.

Also, that clause was originally a limitation on the FEDERAL gov't only. Several states came into the Union with established churches.
