UPDATE: from a long absent pal

no forum or blog response to add this to but, I need to add this:

he said also “The founders proscribed the establishment of a state religion, but they did not countenance the elimination of religion from the public square. We are a nation ``under God'' and in God, we do indeed trust.” -- those phrases came into the american experience in the 1950’s—they are not the “e pluribus unum” that our founders forwarded. jackass. (from the wik: "E pluribus unum" is a motto found on the Great Seal of the United States, along with Annuit Coeptis and Novus Ordo Seclorum, and adopted by an Act of Congress in 1782. According to Alan Frederick at Oxford University, "Ē plūribus ūnum" is Latin for "one out of many," or, "from many, one." Never codified by law, it was considered a de facto motto of the United States until 1956 when the United States Congress passed an act (H.J. Resolution 396) [1] adopting In God We Trust as the official motto.)
