Return the USA motto to "Out of Many, One" & remove "In God We Trust"


Return the USA motto to "Out of Many, One" & remove "In God We Trust"
The Issue
"In God We Trust" was adopted as the official motto of the United States in 1956 during the red scare. E pluribus unum was adopted by an Act of Congress in 1782 as the motto of the United States meaning "Out of Many, One". With the growing trend in the United States of skeptics, non-religious, atheists/agnostics, and unbelievers "In God We Trust" doesn't represent "we the people". This is not an attack on believers of any faith, group, or belief. America is a place where people can speak and think as they want to. This is also a country where people can choose not to believe in something. In order to form a more unifying country it is important to create a motto that truly represents all of us. Let us reinstate the first motto set up by the founding fathers. "E PLURIBUS UNUM - OUT OF MANY, ONE".
