I think that "In God We Trust" should be removed from American Currency. CMV

Furthermore, the opening of Supreme Court sessions with "God save the United States and this Honorable Court" should not be allowed. 

My main reason is that there is a separation of church and state in this country, and these references to an Abrahamic God endorses the Abrahamic religions over non-religious peoples and other religious people.

**edit: sorry guys, I shouldn't have started this CMV right now, as I'm procrastinating a paper. This is a very interesting discussion and I'll respond more tomorrow when I'm done with my paper. Thanks!**

In principle this is a very legitimate point, but when looking at the reality of our country we have much higher priorities than remaking the existing currency designs which work just fine.

Isn't it more reasonable to at least wait until a new design is necessary for another reason and then simply leave it out rather than wasting time and money removing it from the current versions of bills? A new currency design brings many costs not just for the government but for ATMs, vending machines, and many other pieces of infrastructure in the country. It should not be done just for an aesthetic difference.

This is assuming a redesign is ever necessary. If physical dollars are slowly being replaced by debit, credit, and prepaid cards of various sorts should we really care about it? In a decade or so this will probably be akin to arguing about changing the design of the penny.
