You are quoting the Declaration, which has no legal authority other than declaring us free from England. Our laws are based on the Constitution, a decidedly SECULAR document.

And how does the motto "In God We Trust" establish a certain religion over another? It merely acknowledges from where our founding principles are derived. Statutes establishing the national motto and allowing for its use on our money have a secular purpose as well by recognizing the historical importance of religion in our society, fostering patriotism and engendering a confidence in the future. Also, the use of the motto has been found to be constitutional time and again.
