Once upon a time, in the year 1956, the President of the United States signed a resolution into action which allowed for "In God We Trust" to replace "E Plurbis Unum" on all paper money. It was done because of McCarthyism and the numerous witch hunts in the name of preventing the spread of Communism by way of atheism.
It was around this time that "Under God" and "So help me God" were added to both the Pledge of Allegiance and Oaths of Office.
So really, there's nothing being "shoved" down your throat, on the contrary, it's actually rescinding something that was "shoved" down the throats of everyone for the last 60 years. I couldn't care less either way seeing as this hasn't been set in stone since the beginning of the country, it's not something that the Founding Fathers laid down that's now being ripped to pieces, in fact, it's just the government stopping a half century of fear mongering.
But that's really beside the point, isn't it? Because Obama is clearly Satan incarnate for doing this.
Will you accept the new soon to be released (DEVIL) dollar?.....I named it the (devil) dollar because they have left off "in God we trust"

Separation of church and state is a last bastion of reason. Support it and promote it!
Religious freedom can save America and the world, if we can stand in the way of these wacked-out Dominionist theocrats.
[And the sad part is that apparently the "godless" coins are doing very well on ebay - a John Adams "godless" coin recently sold for about $500 LOL.]

In God we trust is written on the rim of the George Washington Dollar.

Thomas Jefferson is the same way

Are these the coins you talking about ?
"JUST ONE MORE THING THEY ARE TRYING TO SHOVE DOWN OUR THROATS"?
Isn't that what they did to every person in America who doesn't believe in God, when they first added his name to money? What's the difference, I mean beyond the fact that YOU don't agree with it and Christians will do anything to get and maintain preferential treatment above everyone else, even though America is founded on the idea that no religion should be above any other?
I am guilty of this as well.
It's true but I don't think anyone wants to be the first one to do something...
Gitmo isn't closed.
Most of the Bush Doctrine was not only NOT shut down, but expanded upon as well as continued.
Until Iraq finally wound down we where fighting three wars at once (Afghanistan, Lybia and Iraq).
The War on Drugs hasn't slacked off, in fact it has expaned, making drug lords even richer.
SOPA, PIPA and now CIPA have been put forth by special interests from Hollywood that want to destroy the competition and new market ideas presented by the Internet.
So aside from a lack of patriotism engendered by Americans embittered by a decade of war... What's the difference?
