No, removing a silly motto off a coin in no way infringes on your First Amendment freedom of religion. However, making the motto "In God We Trust" may be a violation of the establishment clause.
That's complete hogwash- the government is NOT forcing ANYONE to practice ANY religion- expression is NOT forcing! The Constitution is being strictly adhered to- it's those hwo wish to infringe on our right to express our religion that have broken the constitution by declaring that the constitution is being violated when it ABSOLUTELY is NOT!!! No government official is making you recognize any religion you so choose not to. Live in Iran- then tell me how our government forces religion again? Because I'm obviously not seeing it!
Given what the "Establishment Clause" actually states, you'd have to explain your comment on how having "In God We Trust" on our monies is a violation.
Now that is absolute BUNK.
How so? It is not establishing any certain religion or forcing anyone to submit thereunder. It is merely an acknowledgement that our country's laws are based upon a belief and trust in God as evidence by our founding documents which include the words:
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal(by God), that they are endowed, by their Creator (God), with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.....
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence(!!!!), we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
So, tell me, what exactly is "the establishment clause" and how does it apply to minted coins?
