My dumbass state requires every classrom display 'In God We Trust" and they got away with it because they’re not saying which God. Even assuming that’s a valid loophole (it’s not), it tramples on the rights of those who don’t believe in such fairy tales.

Jokes on them… that’s the actual God these politicians worship
