A new lawsuit filed on behalf of several Atheist plaintiffs argues the phrase “In God We Trust†on U.S. money is unconstitutional, and calls for the government to get rid of it.
Sacramento attorney Michael Newdow filed the lawsuit Monday in Akron, Ohio. He’d unsuccessfully sued the government at least twice challenging the use of the phrase “under God†in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Throughout much of his lawsuit,the word appears as "G-d".
Newdow claims "In God We Trust" violates the separation of church and state. One plaintiff says his atheism is "substantially burdened because he is forced to bear on his person a religious statement that causes him to sense his government legitimizing,promoting,and reinforcing negative and injurious attitudes not only against atheists in general,but against him personally."

We might as well. We no longer trust in God.
“but against him personally.”
So he’s a paranoiac with delusions of persecution?
Interesting.
Aww geez not this ##$- again!!!!!
Atheists - They don’t believe in God, but boy do they hate Him.
So, now we have to pay some slip and fall lawyers to litigate this foolishness?
Another juvenile leftist railing about something.
Yup! If there’s a greater example of people that need to just get a life..........
Newdow practices in Sacramento.Does he know that means sacrament?
I hope he never visits San Francisco or Los Angeles.
Idiot.
.
oh, he’s been at this for some time...a true anti-religion bigot
Exactly, if he was truly sincere about his atheism, he wouldn’t care about something he doesn’t believe in.
There is no constitutional guarantee of separation of church and state. The first amendment says “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”
“God” on a coin is not establishing a religion.
Personally, I think the constitution should have stopped at “Congress shall make no law.”
Yo Dark....... He like Mikey Weinstein is also an @zzwhole.
oohrah!!!!
Yup.
I do like his paranoid sounding claim though.
Wish I could, er, reinforce the delusion that an all powerful force was persecuting him with those words.
Would be funny to plant a bunch of sticky notes inside his newspaper, books, etc reading “in God we trust” just to see his reaction.
What a great line.
So we cave in again so some ‘group’ that doesn’t like the way the laws of our Country are founded on? Well you don’t like it, leave, we will not miss you, in fact, we’ll help you get on the boat OUT OF HERE!!!
KEEP AMERICA WITHIN THE LAWS SET UP WHEN AMERICA WAS FOUNDED!!!
2 points:
(a) There are dozens of religious organizations in existence who cannot even agree on what 'statement' is or represents - much less that the phrase could possibly establish a religion.
(b) I haven't carried cash for at least a couple of years now. Nobody is forcing him to do anything - in fact, you could argue that our ATM society has solved the problem for him.
Hey Michael, you miserable sad sack of a person, move to CUBA!!!
Yeah? What about the words "Our Lord" at the end of the US Constitution?
America is in danger of dissolving over such trivia as this. Let us keep the main things the main things and not be distracted into absurdity.
