You mean like "God Bless America" or "God of Our Fathers" or "God Speed the Right" or the Battle Hymn of the Republic (which calls on God's aid and refers to Jesus' birth in the Holy Land)? And then there's America the Beautiful, which calls on God for guidance and correction.... So, if you believe that "In God We Trust" should be removed from coins, should we also replace the national anthem since it also refers to trusting God? And, if so, what would we change it to? Yankee Doodle? We couldn't use "My country tis of thee" since it uses the same music as God Save the Queen/King (and, anyways, that anthem refers to God as our King, so it would be out for that reason too).</font>
How about The Stars and Stripes Forever? I believe the Bush administration would support that

but perhaps this is now better suited to OMNI...
