I know, but having something to aspire to on your money could be inspirational for Americans.

Why would we aspire to a cartoon bestiality fetish? We aren't that progressive.

I propose a cooler motto, like “E Pluribus Unum”, “Don’t Tread On Me”, “Commies Get Out Reee”, or “New Order Of The Ages”.

All of these are good alternatives tbh

I respect that opinion, but I see God and American culture as related in a very deep manner. Christian values and teachings have shaped the foundation of the United States and, indeed, all of the Western civilizations. That's why we need God in meaningful places.

Yes, God and American culture may be related. However, again, a lot is related to the founding of the nation. Even Roman culture. The Magna Carta. There'd be an uproar if we put King John in meaningful places.

Again, "In God We Trust" was a 60s addition to ward off Communism.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

Absolutely. It's a reasonable interpretation, but it doesn't change the fact that the United States is founded on by Christian values and teachings. Fundamentally, God is still there even if not mentioned. We have the liberty of interpreting American culture in a different manner.

No, it's not an interpretation. It's a statement. Endorsed by the United States Government, written by United States officials, and consulted on by the founding fathers.
