정부는 돈, 연방 정부 건물, 국가 기념물 하나님에 대한 참조를 제거하여 교회와 국가의 분리를 지원해야 하는가?

No. Religion has always been a strong heritage; and while we can guess what God it may reference based on heritage, the term "God" can technically refer to anything. Anything or anyone can be someone's god, if they allow that person or thing to take the number one place in their life.

Legally, Congress can pass no law recognizing an establishment of religion. As such, Congress cannot specifically authorize, mandate nor prohibit the mention of God, by whatever name, in public federal lands and services. These should be allowed to exist, or struck down on a case by case basis. There are times and places where forbidding the mention of God in public business would constitute an infringement on the first amendment, yet there are times when the mention of God in public business would form a similar infringement against those who do not ascribe to the belief in a deity.

We should leave existing references alone. They are part of our history. We should not create new references because they inherently favor particular religious beliefs.

This symbolic statement is reference to the "Grand Architect" of the Freemasons. Without this group the USA would never have existed

Tough question. Christianity is a large part of our national heritage and I don't think it should be swept under the rug as if it is shameful. However, the first amendment exists for a reason, and no one should be forced to share in a faith they don't hold.

Since what we have now is actually a part of the history of our country, it should be left as is, however, adding anything in the future would clearly be a violation of the separation of church and state.

No, leave them as they are but don't continue the practice.

Yes, and change our motto to "We the People", which is where our authority for self-government comes from. I doesn't come from a mythological being.

No. If people really don't believe in God then they should knock off being so afraid of seeing his name somewhere. I don't see them protesting the Avengers movie. There are many gods in that movie. Perhaps they do believe in God and they just hate being reminded of it.

Yes, it's meaningless pandering.

No, it would be in violation of Federal law

No, the Christian faith is the foundation upon which the United States was built.

No. That would be a waste of time and money.

Yes it should be removed from currency, federal buildings and other aspects of government, but national monuments should be left alone and it should not be referenced in the future for anything non religious.

Restore 'e pluribus unum'

freedom of religion, not freedom from religion

Yes. Our country was founded by deeply religious people who were wise enough to know that their religious beliefs should not enter the government.

Leave it alone. "In god we trust" is the equivalent of saying merry Christmas instead of happy holidays it's not meant to offend or exclude. We just don't need to add it to anything new.

Yes, religion on government are meant to be separate. Having a government who promotes a religion is unconsitutional

Notwithstanding certain historical, literary, philosophical exceptions, I say emphatically YES! Off all money now! Out of the Pledge. All that '50s stuff.

The U.S. government shall write no law in respect to establishing a religion or church. Because the us dollar exists of law, it is unconstitutional to put anything about god on it. The oath of office should be giving to the people of America in fact, not the bible. Giving oath to the bible is unconstitutional as well, for elections and swear ins are constructs of law.

We should, but it's too much work, plus the idea of "God" has permeated American culture and is no longer strictly religious, "God bless America" is not religious, it's patriotic.

Yes - this nation was not and is not a Christian nation. Pursuant to the 1st Amendment, there is no established faith for the USA; ergo, any references to God in or on government property or currency should be removed.

yes, have and keep separation of church and state.

If they were placed there at the time the monument was erected then that is part of the original architecture and design and should not be messed with. Anything new unless it is a memorial, which the memorial can include religious references, should not have it there. And on the currency did not start until the 1950's so take it off of there.

I dont really care, just as long it doesnt seem that we are a country run by a religion.

America was founded by Christians, and just because we let foreigners move here that don't hold our current stances doesn't make it right for them to take away ours. If this were the case then we shouldn't allow other churches within the state, period. Besides it would cost too much to completely redo everything just to appease people with opposite opinion. If there's one thing I've learned is there is always more than one view to life and if others can not accept that then they don't belong here. Obviously we are trying to promote that but it is a part of our history and it maintains the idea that we stand for the good of all things.

No because it's been there for a long time and hasn't hurt anyone prior to now.

Oh, eternal and everlasting God, direct my thoughts, words and work. Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the Lamb and purge my heart by Thy Holy Spirit. Daily, frame me more and more in the likeness of Thy son, Jesus Christ, that living in Thy fear, and dying in Thy favor, I may in thy appointed time obtain the resurrection of the justified unto eternal life. Bless, O Lord, the whole race of mankind and let the world be filled with the knowledge of Thee and Thy son, Jesus Christ.
- George Washington

We have this day [Fourth of July] restored the Sovereign to whom all men ought to be…  더 읽어보기 obedient. He reigns in Heaven, and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His Kingdom come.
- Samuel Adams

Yes if they are going to separate church and state then they need to do that completely not when it benefits them.

Give to Caesar what is Caesar's. Christ was very clear about this. If one religious creed is accepted, then where is the free speech to others who also want to be accepted. Leave what currently stands, but exclude from future. Let religious organizations keep God in their monuments.

I am torn because I believe that we were brought up on separation, with people believing in different gods, but than I also think that Taking down monuments and other things that represent god is a bad idea because it has been their for so long.

Everything but the national monuments, which are monuments of history, which may include references to God because the references are part of history.

No, because taxpayers money going toward the removal of "references" is frivolous.

ABSOLUTELY NO!!! We were founded at a Christian nation and should continue.

Yes, separation of church and state.

Not if it going to cost taxpayers money to remove the references.

No. The ones that want those things removed need therapy, because they're so wrapped up in their own egos, they can't let anything be. The Government has too much they should be doing to bother with stupid opinions about non sense concerns by people who should go get jobs. If you're an Atheist, you don't believe, so you shouldn't care. Enjoy a day off. Other beliefs, go have your holidays and leave things alone. This country exists with great sacrifice, so that you can do what you want. You bite the hand that feeds you if you insult the beginnings that include references to the concept of God. The last concept that should reject this idea is the US Government. It was founded on such an ideal.

Take it off currency. Don't add it to anything new. Keep it in existing monuments

No! We should uphold and strengthen the Judeo Christian values. It has been the very foundation that has made this country great and held us together as the wealthiest and most giving country in the world.

No, this nation was founded because of religion and we should keep religion in the government

The government should worry about more important things like the budget, health care, and unemployment. We waste enough money just printing it in the first place. Changing it costs more.

Yes, but leave references in place where it is a part of the original structure.

No, these buildings, monuments, and other aspects of government are historical landmarks, and shouldn’t be defiled because some ***** has his feelings hurt.

Yes, I am religious, but don't want the government to privilege even my views.

No. Because God and religion had a significant role in the formation of The United States, I don't think it should be removed.

No because our nation is founded around freedom of religion and saying god does not go against that like people say.

The government should have to remove references to God in certain cases, such as the Pledge of Allegiance but it depends on the case

Remove from money and take the words 'under God' out of the pledge to the flag.

Yes, it puts Christianity higher than other religons.
