In God We Trust should not be on our money. That being said, it brings up one of my favorite bars from back in the day. They were and still are cash only and still have the following sign. IN GOD WE TRUST. ALL OTHERS MUST PAY CASH

It should read: In THIS GOD we trust.

""Take man's most fantastic invention - God."/

Although I don't really care whether the slogan is plastered on our money, it's a mild violation of of the non-establishment clause of the First Amendment by officially declaring that we're a monotheistic country. At the same time, though, having a reference to God on money is amusing to me, because in a majority-Christian nation it disregards the objections Jesus is purported to have had against wealth and the pursuit thereof. "Render unto Caesar what is Ceasar's, and unto God what is God's" gets a bit muddled, it seems, and the hypocrisy tickles me.
