Federal Court Slaps Down Atheist Claim ‘In God We Trust’ on Money Is Unconstitutional
The phrase “In God We Trust” will remain securely on the U.S. currency — for now.
On Tuesday, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Paul, Minnesota, rejected the claims of 29 atheists, atheist groups and children of atheists, all of whom argued the national motto’s presence on American dollars and coins violates the First Amendment free speech and religion clauses.
Judge Raymond Gruender said in his decision, according to Reuters, that the U.S. government is legally allowed to acknowledge and celebrate “our tradition of religious freedom” by placing the phrase on the currency.
