Your questions are rhetorical, obviously. You don't want my answers or you would have stated the questions in a different manner.
Right then; the phrase on your money wasn't there originally, was added under a President this century.
Seriously Stingray, go get me the name of an American President who wasn't a Christian. Fuck, JFK had trouble getting elected because he was Catholic and not protestant....
Eisenhower, who was instrumental in getting "In God We Trust" onto currency, was actually raised as a Jehovah's Witness, not a Christian. He didn't convert until
after his election interestingly enough. Hardly a "Christian zealot". Hijacked? Go ahead and believe every election in the history of the nation was rigged.
People vote for a candidate based on their platform, not their religion. The majority of the United States does trust in one god or another which is probably why the phrase has remained on our currency and why an atheist has yet to be elected. If the phrase is truly offensive to anyone, modern technology has given us the debit card so their fingers don't have to touch the words.
