Not this again... it's pissed off, in your face atheist time.

The original intent of the First Amendment was to ensure that there would be no arrangement in the United States similar to that of the Church of England.  It was not intended to entirely remove religion from the public sphere.

The mention of a God on money is not an implicit statement of belief in any one faith or another.  It could be referring to Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Native American beliefs, Hinduism, or what have you.

Yeah, Teddy Roosevelt opposed having it there, but for completely different reasons.
