As an atheist, it means that my money is not really worth anything as the US is no longer on the gold standard. Even a religious person should not think money has value because this is printed on it because what would their God want to do with money? Personally, if I was religious, I would view that saying being on money as an insult to the principles that that particular deity is supposed to stand for.
