E pluribus unum was the motto of the Founders. One Out Of Many.
In God we trust was adopted in 1955.

Disagreeing with biblicas literalness and fundamentalism is not disrespecting religion.
You said you don't take Adam and Eve literally didn't you

Btw, nor do I believe literally in sin.

One cannot respect others when one has no respect for one's self.

Actually, In God We Trust first appeared when Congress passed the Act of April 22, 1864 during the Civil War. This legislation changed the composition of the one-cent coin and authorized the minting of the two-cent coin. The Mint Director was directed to develop the designs for these coins for final approval of the Secretary. IN GOD WE TRUST first appeared on the 1864 two-cent coin.

"By themselves"? Did locks invent themselves?
As usual, you bring nothing to this discussion for the simple reason you cannot refute the Law of Distrust since this universal principle pervades all societies in all nations.
And by the way, if you think for a moment that you can open up a bank account without proving who you are, what would that make you?
Or go to doctor or dentist for the first time without I.D. and see how far that gets you?
Or try to get a business license without I.D.
Or try to get a marriage license without I.D.
Or when the IRS requires that your furnish proof of something, try telling them the burden of proof lies with them.
The Law of Distrust utterly destroys the stupid, feel good, self-aggrandizing theory that says that all men are basically good because if the world truly believed that we wouldn't have to put locks on our valuables, or have to prove who we are, or have to have passwords, or have to have background checks, or require proof of any our professional or scholastic credentials, or nations have to arm themselves to protect themselves against untrustworthy nations etc., etc., etc. That ignorant theory flies in the face of reality as we all know it.
But go head, bite off your snout to spite your face. Go choke on it, denier of reality!

I didn't say "Founders."
A 'forefather' is an ancestor; an 'ancestor' is a person from whom one is descended; forebear; progenitor; a 'progenitor' is a person or thing that first indicates a direction, originates something, or serves as a model; predecessor; precursor.

And because you don't believe in sin, you once again fly in the face all reality as we know it. For the very essence of sin is lawbreaking; and all laws across all spectrum of societies in all nations exist because governing authorities presume everyone is a lawbreaker (and rightfully so, since every one of us at one time or another has broken some law -- no matter how trivial we may think it was at the time). The megabytes of irony is that human laws affirm the biblical doctrine of the universal Law of Sin.
I guess after you have no more nose to chomp on, Mr. Denier of Reality, you could start dining on one of your limbs?

The point was the founders were not necessarily all religious literal Christians.
Many were deists Like Jefferson, Washington and Adams....
“Many of the leaders of the French and American revolutions followed this belief system, including John Quincy Adams, Ethan Allen, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Thomas Paine, and George Washington.”
Did they disrespect religion too?

I said "respect toward PEOPLE."
Spewing "wild-eyed self important blathering evangelicals like you." is certainly disrespecting the PERSON(s) holding certain beliefs. Your view of religion has nothing to do with it.

You have the perfect opportunity to engage new believers on the dead religious thread.
Your arguments do not belong here.

Hcap's initial reply in this thread was in post #19...to which boxcar responded in post #22. Which reply do you deem to be the more "respectful"? How can boxcar deserve "respect" from the opposing views here...when he has never shown such respect HIMSELF?

You're the one who brought up sin.

Not a coincidence. On his best day, what God is worth.
