In God We Trust

They were not allowed because of the way they were formed to say vote yes.

There was another organization called the In God We Trust Flag Committee, as we were now calling the flag, based on what our research told us would help.

And that was the new flag, just to clarify.

The new flag that

would have to have the words In God We Trust on it.

That was in the legislation.

And we lobbied hard for that because we knew from our research that would move people willing to think about it from 46% to 51% who would say yes.

Byfield's campaign culminated in the 4th of July, 1951, in a media blitz under the slogan, Freedom Under God.

Cruz's argument is that the Under God and the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954 and the In God We Trust on paper money in 1956 came out of this, not the founders.

Because remember, remember, founders didn't write that.

That was added in the 50s.

All denominations will apply and ask you to simply look at one four-letter statement that's on every one of those dollar bills.

In God we trust.

Mm-hmm.

That also came to be our national motto and applied to our currency back in the 50s, less than one lifetime ago.

Mm-hmm.

In God we trust.

I want to tell you the entire premise of America is built upon that confession.

The government cannot save us.

something called the American Trinity, which I really think at our 250th birthday is worth reminding everybody what the American Trinity is, and that is liberty.

in God we trust, and e pluribus unum.

And those three phrases are actually marked on every quarter, on every coin.

If you look at a quarter that you may have in your pocket, look at those three phrases.

That's why it's not equality.

We have equal starting points, but the liberty to make it as far as our hard work and our dreams take us.

In God we trust.

We are endowed by our creator, not by the government.

bit of them because of what i do and even if it's just at the surface i know that most religions promote or propose love peace giving tolerance forgiveness responsibility this is the role that spirituality has to play We read about the history of America and we see and know today that among the many factors that has made America this great is a statement from their founding fathers.

In God we trust.

In God we trust.

A statement that was institutionalized.

It was not just an opinion of few people.

So God still honors that covenant.

In Africa...

We didn't come out to say whether in God we trust.

It is, in fact, the same as our national motto.

It is, In God We Trust.

Initially, back in the 1800s, it had been known as In God Is Our Trust, but in 2006, the current version, In God We Trust, was officially designated in state statute as Florida's motto.

Official state designations also paint the picture of the heritage of a state.

The Florida panther is the official state animal, which symbolizes Florida wilderness, strength and resilience, Florida's unique ecosystems and the importance of protecting endangered wildlife.

Half of all the people went to church.

We were adding, In God We Trust, to our money.

We were adding, Under God, to the Pledge of Allegiance.

We had prayer in schools.

And so, um, it, you know, that, that all collapsed and, um, y- you know, there's just a lot of things that w- that, that started happening in the culture in the 1960s.

And then I think the, the next major event that comes along, uh, that i- is really important is the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989.

You know, the reason we're adding under God and stuff to the pledge, in God we trust to the money, it was part of the Cold War.

It was part of our, uh, competition against this atheist communistic system.
