Rep. Mike Johnson, the newly elected Republican House speaker, used to conduct a seminar in churches premised on the idea that the United States is a “Christian nation.” This ministry, as he has referred to it, is yet more evidence that Johnson is committed to a hardcore Christian fundamentalism that shapes his views of politics and government.
The seminar, titled “Answers for Our Times: Government, Culture, and Christianity,” was organized by Onward Christian Education Services, Inc., a company owned by his wife, Kelly Johnson, a Christian counselor and anti-abortion activist who calls herself a “leader in the pro-family movement.” The website for her counseling service—which was taken down shortly after Johnson became speaker—described the seminar, which featured both her and Johnson, as exploring several questions, such as, “What is happening in America and how do we fix it?” The list includes this query: “Can our heritage as a Christian nation be preserved?” There were different versions of the seminar running from two-hour-long lectures to retreats lasting two days.
I prefer “E pluribus unum.” Why can’t I have that on my license plate? I think it should be a better descriptor of what the US is.
Also, “In God we trust,” isn’t a religious endorsement, if you go with court ruling.

I personally believe it is, unless you look at “God” in this instance being the money itself. Which could actually track if you wanted.
The cons want to have it both ways, naturally. Having it on currency provides “proof” that this is an xtian nation and it’s also TOTE LEGITZ and doesn’t violate the First Amendment!
I’ve often seen people say that GOD = “Gold, Oil and Diamonds/Drugs” when it comes to it being on currency.
