The Cellar - View Single Post - Atheist Plans New Lawsuit Over Phrase 'Under God'

When I see or think about the word "God," I automatically think of the Judeo-Christian version of a deity. And I suspect that many other people think the same way. And by using the phrases "under God" and "In God We Trust," I believe that this nation is endorsing said Judeo-Christian deity. Minorities (of all varieties) are more vocal now than they were even 20 years ago, and I think we'll continue to see more challenges like "under God."

And that's cool with me. I love people/groups that are willing to take on the status quo like this...even if I don't agree with them. To me, it shows that our government works.
