Court Rules Against Atheist on “In God We Trust”

Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”

Atheist activist Michael Newdow has lost another court case in his quest to eradicate all references to Christianity from society.

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York ruled to uphold lower court rulings that the phrase does not violate the Establishment Clause of the Constitution and does not mean the government is choosing a religion to force on citizens.

“As the Supreme Court has repeatedly indicated in dicta, the statutes at issue in this case have a secular purpose and neither advance nor inhibit religion. The Court has recognized in a number of its cases that the motto, and its inclusion in the design of U.S. currency, is a ‘reference to our religious heritage,’” the Court ruled. “We therefore hold, in line with the Supreme Court’s dicta, that [the motto appearing on currency does] not violate the Establishment Clause.”

The Court went on to say that they disagree the plaintiffs have had a substantial burden placed on them and their religious beliefs.

The Alliance Defending Freedom praised the ruling.

“Americans need not be forced to abandon their religious heritage simply to appease someone’s animosity toward anything that references God,” ADF’s Rory Gray said to the Christian Post. “The Second Circuit rightly reached the same conclusion because this suit was based on a deeply flawed understanding of the First Amendment.”

  1. God is answering our prayers because He is The real One True Almighty God Who gave us His Only Begotten Son…., Christ is The Head of His Church Body and He will not see His True Body defeated. God arranged this Christian nation for our habitation & for HIS desires. We are to fear no one, but be strong & of good courage, be wise as serpents: put on the whole armor of God and stand up & speak up for God’s righteous judgments. We must confront head-on, all this evil garbage by showing up, speaking up, letting our voices & actions be heard & seen all across this nation. So DON’T BE INTIMATED by the actions & voices from evil workers, . INSTEAD, KEEP REMINDING PEOPLE THAT WE STILL LIVE IN A CHRISTIAN NATION AND WE ARE KEEPING IT AS A CHRISTIAN NATION. God never sleeps, but He watches over us, loving us, wanting our devotion. He’ll keep our “backs” covered. It’s only the God haters that want to bring us down. But God still wants this nation to send forth the Gospel of Jesus Christ & Him crucified so that all the world may hear & be saved.
