I can get as creative as the next guy, however, in God We Trust is our nations motto. The phrase is on our money. God is celebrated by government office closures on religious holidays. God is honored in our pledge to the flag and in our National Anthem( 4th verse). God is a part of our culture. I could have substituted the word GOD but I felt it would compromise the integrity of the paper. Whether you believe in God is irrelevant. No one should have to censor the truth about how millions of people feel to appease anyone.

welcome to fr.

the poorly written news article had implied differently:

"Hauf's teacher approved her term paper topic — Religion and its Place within the Government — on one condition: Don't use the word God."

...

"Hauf acknowledges she knew her teacher's condition for writing the paper"
