    Doesn’t that go against separation of church and state, and if this is government pushed, isn’t this a first amendment violation?

      The way it was worded basically said that it had to be the national motto, thereby not making it a religious text to bypass the concerns you mentioned.

        Fucking hate this. There is a local public meeting that starts with a prayer to the Evangelical God in Jesus’s name that I’m forced to attend because of my job. I hate being essentially compelled to participate in prayer. The SCOTUS precedent supporting this is 100000000% Christian bias.

      Look at the dollar bill. America has never given two shits about the separation of church and state.
