The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

52 years ago today the motto "In God We Trust" was made law by president Eisenhower. How do we celebrate ? 
by reciting the original Pledge of Allegiance and then getting on with our business. Sorry if that's like weak, but I really don't subscribe to the celebrate by blowin shit up skool of thawt.
Vote for McCain... www.therealmccain.com ...and he'll bring Jesus back
We started to lose our freedoms 52 years ago today. Maybe even before that.
I was doing that for a while - crossing it off of money. You can also change it to "Reason" or "FSM."

"Anyone can repress a woman, but you need 'dictated' scriptures to feel you're really right in repressing her. In the same way, homophobes thrive everywhere. But you must feel you've got scripture on your side to come up with the tedious 'Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve' style arguments instead of just recognising that some people are different." - Douglas Murray
Technically it isn't illegal - it's only considered defacing currency if it's to the point it can't be used or if you try to make it look like a different denomination.

So, don't do it, folks. No matter how much fun it would be to have a nation full of currency with 'god' struck out on it. Or how much it might spark debate and get people used to the idea of fairly sharing the nation with non-belivers. Never you mind the opportunity to excersize your right to free speech.

If I had known about this before two hours before the end of the anniversary I would have written a letter to the editor of a local paper... it's unique enough that I think I'd have a remote chance - being in a rather liberal area - that it might make it in. Next year perhaps?
We up here have to get by without that god stuff on our currency, just the Queen, some Pols and some animals. And our dollar is worth a bit more then the yankee greenback, thank yeah GWB, eh?
I must say though, even as an atheist, one of my favorite slogans is "In god we trust; all others pay cash"
"Very funny Scotty; now beam down our clothes."
