No is the only logical answer. It’s just a printing which does nothing to establish a state church. Also, it’s not harming anybody.

Nor does it identify any specific religion.

There is only one God according to the Judeo-Christian faith, but the 1st commandant states that “You shall have no other god before me”. I am not sure our currency actually means the God of the bible, maybe it is another god, like mammon itself...

Good God...Do the liberals realize we MAY other “problems”..can you say Russia, iran, Korea, Talban, hammas, syria, Hezbollah...

Oh, no, lets worry about “In God We Trust”....If the Libs don’t like that phrase..they can pencil in another “o”!
They are so irrelevant it is frightening that they are allowed to talk.

How mentioning of God could be violation of the principle of separation of church and state?! To which church exactly this statement links our Government?

Its kind of like the few people who made a stink about the In God We Trust license plates in Indiana. I think I’ve seen more of those than the regular plate. So once again a few people who are “offended” have to push their agendas on everyone else.

The poll should be: “Should MSNBC be removed from our list of available channels?”

Maybe.

But thanks for supporting the inclusive, thus legitimate, interpretation.
