vote on this important subject

Exactly why is this important? Would a lack of proselytizing on currency affect your faith? It was put on our currency so that in a few thousand years when archeologists are digging up our society they'll supposedly see this inscription and know that we weren't "heathen." It was a dumb reason full of hubris. "E Pluribus Unum" describes our country much better anyway.

OTOH, why is it important to Newdow? He may not agree with the inscription (and neither do I), but it has no force, zero actual or potential affect on a citizen whether he believes or not. There is no right or principle being violated. He's probably a leftist who believes in the supposed right to not be offended.

It's all about this petty culture war the fundies on both sides are waging, and I'm getting sick of it.

Wouldnt it be interesting to see what the poll results would be if the question was:

Should:
“In God We Trust” be replaced with...

“In Government we Trust”, or simply....

“From Each According to Their Means, to Those According to Their Needs.”

lets just get this thing over with.
