+9'In God We Trust' was put on our money during the Cold War as a political move, supposedly to combat the 'godless Communists'. I prefer 'E Pluribus Unum', meaning 'out of many, the one.'

I prefer E Pluribus Unum, which was our national motto. We put it aside and now are a very divided, dysfunctional nation.
The final days of Rome are here and if you can't grow your own food and live without money, your in big trouble. I hate to say it, but the righting is on the wall.
GOD is not a name, and therefore does not denote any one deity in particular. All people in the US can appreciate having GOD on their money. Even the Atheist and Agnostic, because it does not specify which GOD it is referring to. The Muslims can claim that they trust in Allah, and the Christians can claim that they trust in Jehovah, but NEITHER NAME is on the money, so NEITHER DEITY is directly mentioned. Problem of 'In God we trust' is SOLVED without removal from money.

The phrase In God we Trust has nothing to do with our Countries Motto!
The words "E Pluribus Unum Out of many are one"referring to the thirteen original colonies forming one union is the motto of the USA.
Two problems: Very few Americans have even read the Founding Documents, and to few of those who have read them take the time to understand what they have read.
However, even if it did what does it matter? This one fact wouldn't be impressive enough to prove that gods are real any more than the various other countries past and present that pay homage to various gods.
