Should we remove "In God We Trust" from currency?

76. My daughter's best friend through middle and high school was a Mormon..

One of the nicest people you could hope to meet, she certainly considered herself a Christian as did her parents and siblings.

And if you think it's only Mormons who worship money in the USA you're sadly mistaken, all you have to do is watch someone like Creflo A Dollar or Pat Robertson or Bishop Eddie Long for that matter, the list of Christian hucksters in America is a long and sordid one.

You might be surprised to learn that a lot of atheists such as myself became what we are because we take or took religion and scripture seriously, that's the reason that atheists/agnostics are the most knowledgeable group about religion in the US. Many of us find it really odd that the most cutthroat capitalist nation on the planet has "In God We Trust" on its money and find it even more odd that a large number of Christians think that's a great idea.

A new survey of Americans' knowledge of religion found that atheists, agnostics, Jews and Mormons outperformed Protestants and Roman Catholics in answering questions about major religions, while many respondents could not correctly give the most basic tenets of their own faiths.

Forty-five percent of Roman Catholics who participated in the study didn't know that, according to church teaching, the bread and wine used in Holy Communion is not just a symbol, but becomes the body and blood of Christ.

Respondents to the survey were asked 32 questions with a range of difficulty, including whether they could name the Islamic holy book and the first book of the Bible, or say what century the Mormon religion was founded. On average, participants in the survey answered correctly overall for half of the survey questions.

Atheists and agnostics scored highest, with an average of 21 correct answers, while Jews and Mormons followed with about 20 accurate responses. Protestants overall averaged 16 correct answers, while Catholics followed with a score of about 15.
