I actually don't think it's a big deal to have the phrase on our money, though I would be part of the 92%. If they took it off I don't think it would bother me. I trust in God not because it is on my money. @ Thanks for your comment. You make a good point. Religious freedom involves atheists who don't believe in God and they would make up the 8%. Would it be okay if they wanted to change it to "In God Most Trust"? ;) @ mulmout: Thanks for you comment.

Hardly anyone would argue that the phrase 'in christ we trust' or 'in mohamed we trust' or 'in budda we trust' is a statement of religion, and should be banned, but does the phrase 'in god we trust' represent something more? a cultural norm? roy the ques is, is the phrase ‘in god we trust’ on money a matter of principle or popularity? if its popularity, then 92% wins; if its a matter a principle, then that is a different quesiton, and a more interesting one.
