2/ How do Americans reconcile themselves with the two contradictory messages on the back of the bill: Novus Ordo Seclorum (New Secular Order) and In God We Trust?

For one thing, "Novus Ordo Seclorum" doesn't mean "New Secular Order". It means "A New Order of the Ages".

The word "seclorum" means "ages"?

I didn't know that!

But then, I'm not a Latin scholar like you, obviously, are.
