Comment from : Mukhtar mohamed Ducale

In god we trust is just a name of the trust that is held by European family Since they own the properties and the Citizen of the united state of America that used to be a nation but now a cooperations To pay back our debt that’s all
Comment from : DuweMoto

Communism is an anti Christian religion, I'm an atheist this is obvious even to me You keep pointing to different references to God in various anthems since the 18th century It doesn't matter whether it says "we love god" "we trust in God" or "God really likes America" All three recognize the existence of God and this is not a constitutional issue

Are you sure Under god wasn't added in 1954?

It’s kinda crazy how much people accept as “allways been there” When I was at school it felt like houses had been there forever-when I did research on it later the first 3 got started only in 1953 and they just tacked on a new one very few decades!

History is a cruel mistress, and rightly so
Comment from : A Ghost Without a Past

On a tangential note, and I hope you don't think I'm trolling you, I would like to point out that despite the widespread use, there are problems with your use of the word "American" It would be nice to see scholars reaching international audiences, like you, being more precise and respectful by avoiding that use brbrThe word "American" is a demonym for the United States of America, but it can also be used to refer to anyone from the Americas, which includes North America, and South America This can be confusing and even abusive for people from other countries of the American continent, who feel that they are being excluded from the term "American"brbrThe United States of America is not the only country in the Americas People from other countries in The Americas are proud of their continental identity, which does not relate to the identity of the USA It feels like this appropriation of the demonym is an unnecessary insult that could be easily replaced with a more appropriate and unambiguous term

Strange that Jesus and the early church practiced primitive forms of socialism and were against building up wealth

"IN GOD WE TRUST"brWhich "god"? They never outright specified it, but it's their "god" Satan, not the Christian God, that they are referring to Doublespeak
Comment from : lxmzhg

refers to lucifer
Comment from : Little André

This phrase "To trust in God" is form the proverbs of Solomon from The Bible Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understandingbr He that trusts in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch He that handles a matter wisely shall find good: and whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he And many many more phrases if make search for the word TRUST in The Book of Proverbs

Government did a fantastic job of keeping church and state separate 👏 👍
Comment from : girlie

In no gods i trustbrBut the one i distrust the most is ours, the abrahamic onesbrgod we would have been colonised the solar system already without those
Comment from : HexaRecter

Maybe the "In God We Trust" motto instead of let's say "In Government We Trust" is meant to remind our liberty driven culture that "No one can serve two masters" - Matthew 6:24 This reminder is what might make the difference in times of government abuse over the people it's supposed to serve In other words, a God fearing nation as opposed to a Government fearing nation "When the people fear the government, there is tyranny When the governments fear the people, there is liberty" - Thomas Jefferson

Comment from : Danny Sykes · 23 yrs ago

The phrase "In God We Trust" first appeared on US coins way sooner than the 1950s The phrase made it's first appearance on the 2-cent coin in 1864 during the dark days of the US Civil War (Treasurygov has a good article about earlier legislation on the phrase) You make a good case that it was repurposed against Communism--I suppose the phrase is the phrase is invoked during major existential crises
Comment from : kieferonline

I think that a lot of Americans are convinced, deep in their heart, that god is actually an American
Comment from : Jannette Berends

As a New Zealander who is Christian (LDS/Mormon), going to the USA was completely jarring, due to its religiosity NZ now has very strong church/state separation , and being devout like I am isn't super common (if you're white, that is can of worms right there) Yet in the USA people would say "God Bless You" like it was nothing, to anyone, and despite being Christian myself it was still bizarre seeing it everywhere from seemingly everyone

Heh "In Gold We Trust" has been more accurate for quite some time

Comment from : Ana

what about christian communism?
Comment from : Jay Tea

speaking of communism: what do you make of the claim that marxism is an apocalyptic religion, with a fair bit of influence of christianity? it claims to be "materialist" of course, but this "materialism" was considered to be in conflict with modern physics and darwinian evolution in the USSR and at it's core there is the rejection of economics

All I can think about with these American Religion videos is that Bioshock Infinite is that much closer to being real I’m all for floating cities, but not the crazy cult part
Comment from : Real Nigel Thornberry

So instead of trying to explain to commoners why overthrowing the elites was a ibad/i thing, they invented a slogan and everybody lapped it up
Comment from : AndyBeans

Did Jesus actually say our problems weren’t social? His religious philosophy seems pretty socialist if, unlike the Grahams, you read what he said
Comment from : Ryan Cole

As per your explanation, would like to highlight that Christianity was most probably politicised in USA due to crude practice of communism in European nations & Russia where the truth was suppressed like the nuclear incident with Chernobyl & Russia executing/imprisoning Christian believers on the grounds of atheism

Actually, we DID have a motto--and a perfectly good one at that: "E Pluribus Unum" (Out of Many, One)
Comment from : Harriet Harlow

The USA became a prosperous country because most people believed in God but now things are changing for the worst because most people are not believing in God, so sad so stupid so ignorant
Comment from : Mukta Carita

Twist of the plot: the god americans trust is not Jesus Christ, but a masonic chief and commander, The Great Architor
Comment from : Alexey Lysenko

The integration of immigrants is exactly why we have a "civil religion" and the refusal to assimilate should be sufficient reason to refuse naturalization No matter where you are from, nor any consideration of race, if you don't want to become an American, you should go home And trying to overthrow the Constitution is nothing less than treasonbrbrBTW, yes, the US was founded as a Judaeo-Christian nation, because our founders mostly from Europe, but it took a stand on secularism and separation of Church and State because so many came here to seek freedom from persecution for religious beliefs We cannot tolerate the persecution of believers, but neither can religion be used as a shield to protect those who would attack our society
Comment from : Lukas Makarios

I think the funniest and most painful part is that Jesus was communist AF
Comment from : Anthony Yu

The United States brNo, we don't called you America, because you aren't America or the owner of America, your imperialists policies doesn't make our masters
Comment from : Yira Patricia Aristizabal Peña

I find it ironically telling that the US Supreme Court upheld, "In God We Trust," under the argument that it, "lost through rote repetition any significant religious content" It was enacted more than half a century ago, and people on iboth/i sides of the argument still iagree/i that it definitely ihasn't/i lost a ibit/i of its religious content, clearly revealing that it ishould be/i subject to the Establishment Clauserather than protected as a form of, "Ceremonial Deism" E PLURIBUS UNUM!

Nope it goes back to 1866 American coins

Comment from : EmberFlower

So, basically to be a good American you have to treat it like a religion and at the same time be a good Christian, yet in order to be a good American you have to break the first commandment
