    “E pluribus unum”, that’s the national motto. “In god we trust” is only on the money because of evangelicals doing this exact same kind of thing in the 50’s.

      No, “In God We Trust” is a national motto since the 50’s. It was also used as a (political) motto since the Civil War.

      Edit: Downvotes despite being a fact as verifiable through Wikipedia, etc.

          Oh shit, I had to scroll this far to find the truest statement. I love this. You are clearly correct.

        Yes it’s “officially” the national motto, but “E pluribus unum” has been the de facto motto since 1776. Like I said, “In god we trust” is only on the money because of evangelicals doing this exact same kind of thing in the 50’s.
