God the ultimate bearer of humility is what keeps peoples conscious above personal wants. The world and this country is far below the perfect society yet we should strive for perfection. God in this case is not relegated to one God or supreme being but to a consciousness for the betterment of mankind. It includes all religions therefore is not directed at one.
When people begin to imagine that they are better than perfection it will be the end and "In God we trust" is a statement towards our need for humility and human desires wants and needs. Laws do not change that it just "is" and it does not bother me in the least as I know that humanity is not ever going to be controllable nor ever a "safe" bet. I need humility, if only to remind me that I'm fallible.
Or...............It costs to much in will and silver to change.
