Should 'In God We Trust' be removed from all U.S. currency?

All U.S. coins bear the inscription, “In God We Trust,” and that’s been the case since 1938, according to the Treasury Department. Now it’s on every bill, as well.In a survey conducted by College Pulse for The College Fix, two-thirds of left-leaning college students say the motto should be removed from all U.S. currency, while only 6% of Republican students agree that it should go.

Meanwhile, a University of Alabama student doesn’t quite see it that way. “It’s one of the U.S.’s mottos, and all countries put their motto on their currency, so it’s fine so long as it’s a motto,” he said. “A generation or two has lost touch with its heritage,” he said. “For all the talk of equality in America, few realize that it is the theistic foundations that ground it. In our ‘progressive’ removal of God, we should beware of what follows.”

I believe theocratic references will be removed some day, as countries that fall back upon religion will be on the wrong side of history...

'We can't even agree on choose any really controversial subject'

stop feeding us fakenews

Doesnt solve anything

I think that's ridiculous. They're only words.

Leave it alone! You got more important things to worry about.

What a$$ is bringing this up? Leave it. Work on planting trees to offset the Amazon, Madagascar, Haiti deforestation’s.

To be fair, the whole In God We Trust thing is really just a remnant of the red scare. It was a way to counter “godless communism” in the 1950s. There’s no mention of God or any religion in the constitution. Even the Dec. of Independence says “their creator”, not exactly “God”.

yes .Because no body trust in God there .

I thought you were a financial news Network? But spreading propaganda seems to be your main goal.

No, but Hell No...!

How about, in Donald we Trust.

Under Satan’s Authority - should be the new

What do you want In Trump we Trust?👹🤡😵

America was built on it.

As long as you remove the currency first.

God like so many labels these days,(left,right,liberal,extremist etc etc) is a word that has lost its currency. It has become meaningless because it means so many things to dufferent people.

Why is Marketwatch polling this? You guys are hacks! Stick to the Markets!

Everybody's God is different, why should this matter? There are other important issues to address.

it's ridiculous indeed! in God we trust...wtf?! ahaha this is history.

I have had contact with some holy spirits in my lifetime, try telling God that we/ you did not trust in him when you pass on when you want to pass the holy gates.

If God Americans don't trust whom they can to trust? To government? Better to trust in God i think :)

What is 'God'? How can you trust in something that doesn't exist?

Replaced with, 'Made in the USA'

Well, ya see, the thing about God is...

No

Raise your hand if your life is worse off because it says ‘in God we trust’ in our money. Is there anything leftists don’t complain about

What if God is the government! 🤐

How much would it cost to do so?

This is why we vote Trump. Trump 2020, whoever he endorses 2024, that person 2028, and whoever they endorse 2032 & so forth
