It’s cold war era propaganda, it’s not even that old. There was a belief at the time among certain circles that since the USSR outlawed organized religion that the US needed to embrace organized religion even harder and to drive that point home we should put “In god we trust” on all our money. A lot of the US’s current issues can be traced back to cold war propaganda surprisingly. Boomers have been stewing in that garbage their entire lives and it rotted their brains to the point where you can reduce them to frothing incoherent rage by just saying “socialism” around them.
No. In God we trust is on all our money for some stupid reason.
Ah, I had to zoom in to see “in trump we trust”. How disgusting… that gives a bit more perspective.

For a country that has such a mix of people, seems pretty stupid regardless the reason.
