Since the space for the options is short, I describe here the options. Which opinion is closer to yours?

Opinion A: "in god we trust" should not be removed from the money bills. I don't care about separation of religion and state. We don't need secularism.

Opinion B: "in god we trust" should not be removed from the money bills. I care about separation of religion and state, but "in god we trust" in money bills is not a violation of separation of religion and state. "in god we trust" does not refer to any specific religion.

Opinion C: If I have the option to choose between removing or not "in god we trust", I would remove. I care about separation of religion and state. But I will not waste my time fighting for removing "In god we trust". Since we have limited resources even for political activism, I would spend these resources for more important issues related to secularism, like LGBT rights and teaching of science at schools.

Opinion D: I think we should fight for removing "in god we trust" from the money bills. Symbols are important. If a country has "in god we trust" in its money bills, this country will not respect secularism. The "more important" issues related to secularism will be under threat

E: Money is a vice and universal symbol of greed and other sins. Putting God on it is both disrespectful to God, borderline sacrilege, and a violation of the separation of church and state.

Option C because it being on money is dumb, but I really don't care enough to fight about it.

A part of me wants to say Option D, but in reality I know that there are much more important issues, so Option C.

What does "anti-activist" even mean?

I mean, it's clearly not unConstitutional, so I really don't care.

What is super annoying, though, is when people make a point not to capitalize God, making their sentence grammatically incorrect, as they would need an "a" or "the" in front of it if you choose not to capitalize due to excessive edginess and max secularism™.

C, except I don't tend to think of issues I care about as "issues related to secularism". But, in reality:

E: Money is a vice and universal symbol of greed and other sins. Putting God on it is both disrespectful to God, borderline sacrilege, and a violation of the separation of church and state.

In today's secularized world, people often flail and struggle to endow their own lives with some sense of purpose and identity, so don't be too hard on them.
