Should there be a separation between church and state in the United States government? Most people would answer yes. But to what extent? Should phrases like "In God We Trust" and other references to God be taken off of monuments, money, and federal buildings? The current polls on this issue show that most citizens would answer no. In fact, only 27% of people believe that the separation should go so far as to remove all references to God where the government is concerned. The phrase "In God We Trust" became the national motto in 1956, and in 1957 it began appearing on paper money. Since then, people have been opposing it, asking if it doesn't violate the separation between church and state described in the Constitution. Those who are for the motto, and want to keep it, argue that the phrase doesn't allude to any one specific religion.
