Default "In God We Trust" has been on US currency since @ 1866.

In God We Trust has been printed on our money for 148 years by the federal government. Wonder if the founders including Jefferson would now vote to remove In God We Trust from our currency? I think not.

Yet some today will use the Constitution including actavist judges and contend that it should in fact be removed.

Was this the intent of the founders or the 1st amendment. I think not.
There seems to be quite a tradition of having "In God We Trust" on US currency. I cannot really see activist judges successfully removing this phrase as it does not promote one religion but many of them that have one deity-- Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and probably deism.
