I don't really care for Sarah Palin, but the one interesting part of this article was her discussion on removing God from our currency. She demanded that the familiar phrase "In God We Trust" be removed from its prominent place on U.S. currency. I find this ironic, since Palin did run alongside McCain on the Republican ticket last year. I also find her attempts rather ludicrous, since the phrase has been on the coin for such a long time.
The United States is an overwhelmingly Christian nation, and will continue to remain that way. I find it highly improbable that one singular phrase on a COIN could influence so many people negatively. It shows the U.S. has a commitment to faith as well as government. I do understand why many could think that it violates the separation of church and state.
