In God We Trust?

You may have heard of the recent court decision to keep "In God We Trust" on our money and also keep "under God" in our Pledge of Allegiance. This decision was made by The Federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals after it was challenged by atheist Michael Newdow in two First Amendment cases. You can read the story here.

So this is great news, right? The question is, was the Judge upholding the constitutionality of this words in their literal sense, or simply preserving a long-standing tradition? Does the words "In God We Trust" really reflect our attitude today?

If "In God We Trust" is no longer in our hearts and minds, does it really matter if it is on our money? We, as Christ Followers, need to ponder this motto and be sure that it rings true in our own hearts before we expect our Country to return to the mindset that it once held when the great men who founded our Country made the decision to stamp this on every coin and print it on every bill.
