This would still be your answer if the motto was "In Allah We Trust"... right? Because otherwise, you'd be a hypocrite.

No, because Allah is a specific Deity, while "God" is a far more general term.

Really?

While the term is best known in the West for its use by Muslims as a reference to God, it is used by Arabic-speakers of all Abrahamic faiths, including Christians and Jews, in reference to "God".

... by people who don't know what they're talking about

anyway, this line of discussion is pointless, because you're seemingly unaware of the existence of atheists, agnostics, polytheists, and so on who don't subscribe to the existence of a Supreme Being.

I'm sure you don't care, anyway, but that just highlights your hypocrisy. Majority rule does not "constitutional" make.
