Ted, Yes, all the non Christians and agnostics......roughly 30% of the population.

So 30% of the population gets to decide that the 1st Amendment means preventing the expression of anything that "offends" them. And they get the support of the liberal elite, which themselves might be offensive to about 50% of our population. Guess who's told to "tolerate" it?

And if we did pull God off our money so what?

Once again, it's a slippery slope. There will be nothing to prevent members of Congress from singing "God Bless America" on the steps of the Capitol. Religious people whose faith permeates every aspect of their lives would never be allowed to enter politics, because only those who can "check their religion at the door" will be allowed to serve.

It's just like asking you to check your liberalism at the door before taking up public service. No need to tell me that liberalism isn't a religion, because when you look at the true definition of religion, it's nothing more than a system of beliefs.
