If the US is a secular state why does the dollar bill say “in God we trust”
In: Other
Gotta stick it to those godless commies. In god we trust was added to the paper currency in the 50s as a way to add another layer of distinction between us and the USSR. It should be noted that this isn’t the origin of the statement as it was used on some state coins going back to the 1800s. It wouldnt be the official country motto until the 50s though.
