A federal district court struck down atheists’ challenge to the United States’ motto this week. The Freedom From Religion Foundation sued to remove the phrase, “In God, We Trust,” from all U.S. currency. The ACLJ (American Center for Law and Justice) submitted a brief explaining to the court that “In God, We Trust,” mirrors the historical beginnings of America. “The national motto simply echoes the principle found in the Declaration of Independence that our freedoms come from God and not the state,” the brief read. The court ultimately decided in favor of the ACLJ, finding the motto did not violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. “The decision is welcomed and well-reasoned,” said ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow.
