Its supposed to have come from 'the star spangled banner' third verse, "In god is our trust". Supposed to have been placed on paper currency in 1957 in response to communist threats, to reinforce loosely xtian states perception that their religion is capitalist in nature. At least thats what I understand doing a little searching on the web. In reality the united states isn't suppose to be establishing religion in any government action. Many deny that the phrase is just a phrase and doesn't endorse or promote any religion just a nationistic phrase some bs like that. I am sure atheists aren't happy with that idea. Certainly slmost everyone I know would equate 'god' with something xtian. One could think of it as being Enki or satan, as god is more of a title or a concept not a proper name.

Subject: "In God we trust"
I know the all seeing eye in the pyramid on the dollar bill proves that the founders of the states were no xtians but the thing that confuses me is the "In god we trust" inscribed on it. Can anyone explain where that comes from?
Hail Enki!!
