there are both good and bad sides to this. While I myselfbleieve that not following God will probably end in Hell, Im not going to tell someone that they are going there. Simply put, true christians DO NOT consider themselves fit to judge other people based on religion. All of us are sinners, and a sinner calling another person evil is like pot calling hte kettle black. However, based on the principles of equality it woud deeply scare me if for example a satanist message would be allowed on US currency instead, which would no doubt make more people happy but according to my bliefs Id be scared of god getting angry at my country for rejecting him. So it really goes both ways. You should let people believe what they want, but only so long as its not forcing you to bleieve something. I do not see anything wrong with the word God in the pledge or money. If you dont bleieve, just pretend it isnt there. Ignorance is bliss policy. Idl ike to finally add, the way I see it, if a Christian like myself who strongly belives in God ends up being wrong at the end of life, all we lose is our belief. however, if as I bleieve, God DOES exist, and osmeone lived their life not accepting Him, then obviously there is a very real crisis there when they die. Thats one reason I am Christian, but not nearly the only one. If I am wrong, I lose nothing really, but if nonbelievers are wrong, there is literally Hell to pay. Just my 2 cents.
