God bless America?
What would you prefer to hear politicians say to complete a speech instead of God bless you and God bless America? That seems to be the go-to phrase for US politicians and it makes my skin crawl to hear it.

Yep, I like this one.
The phrase needs to be removed from legal tender as well.

It is annoying. The whole separation of church and state thing doesn't seem to mean anything anymore, ever. Religious beliefs are not supposed to factor in to policy decisions but, unfortunately, they always are. Their religion is a front piece to most campaigns seeing that the untaxed church lobby funnels money their way... It will never end in this country. The pandering to the religious... It's unsettling at times and annoying all the time. Just say thank you, have a good day at the end of the speech. That should suffice. Should...

When they say that, people in the crowd should shout out "Which god?". That would might throw a kink in their rhetoric.

Actually I don't understand why. Isn't the US officially secular?
Politicians in european countries are BY LAW not allowed to say such things.

The US is sadly being controlled more and more by religious groups due to greedy politicians who need their block of votes to get elected at all. If Pence becomes President it will quickly become much worse very quickly.
Go fuck yourselves would be better.

If Americans are going to keep going gaga for god then they need to get a better god, one that gets results.

There is no god to bless America and what about all those other nations? The song says god blessed Texas with his own hand, so now god must have a prostetic. Where is the hand? How did it bless anyone? We seem to be fascinated with this imaginary god who is equally fascinated with our body parts. In his history he wants to burn body parts, smell and savor them, and there is some indication that this is what hell is all about.
