These "atheists" do not speak for me.

I am completely indifferent to whether "In God We Trust" appears on the currency.

Now let me turn the question around.

We added "In God We Trust" to the dollar bill and "One Nation Under God" to the pledge, both in the mid fifties.

In what way has America become a more moral nation as a result? Does your God appreciate the difference between the slogans a nation mouths and the behaviors it exhibits??

In God We Trust was on US coinage as early as 1864, on the 2cent piece.

if you’re indifferent, then it doesn’t matter to you

meanwhile, there are many people that it does matter to

Your question? “ Does your God appreciate the difference between the slogans a nation mouths and the behavior it exhibits?’. This makes recall of the spirit of Easter just past. I believe that Jesus who I personally take as ‘of my GOD’ took a stand on this issue in many ways. There was the incident of the money changers being chased from the Temple. There was the incident of forgiveness of the sins/acts of the unclean woman and then there are his words differentiating earthly tributes and eternal/heavenly blessings leading up to his crucifixion on the cross. Yes, I believe my God does recognize and appreciate a difference between words and actions or mouths and behavior as you asked.
