The House Judiciary Committee is considering a resolution to reaffirm the National Motto as, "In God We Trust". (If you are interested, you can read about it here.) So, this, of course, will be very important to social conservatives who will point to America as "One Nation Under God", and that this motto is a hill on which to die. However, I would argue that the statement is not true of the country. We trust in the dollar and our machine guns. Even in 1956, when that motto was created, I don't think it was necessarily true. They were certainly more religious than now, but is "White-only" drinking fountains really the mark of a society that trusts God?
