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.

Want to vote
Do you want the religious logo 'in god we trust' removed from our money? I'm sure many of you would like to vote on this if you have not already. Here's the link http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10103521/
People who think there is something they refer to as god don't ask enough questions.

Thanks for posting that, I wasn't aware they even had a story on the lawsuit let alone a vote to see what their viewer/readers thought. Of course, I watch very little television and seldom ever watch msnbc. I do like Lou Dobbs though.
It still gets me how little most people know of the Constitution and our history and even the English language. Patriotism has nothing to do with Dog yet every xtian will cite belief in Dog as being patriotic. Guess our public schools have failed us. Come to think of it, when I was in high school in the sixties I don't remember any mention of church/state.

Who cares as long as it spends the same?
Yeah, them bright Founding Fathers knew the ills of old Europe and so sought to protect "we the people" from the monster church. Of course the clever church devil loons with their thousands of years of tested relentless practice have perverted "we the people" again, just as they have always perverted the simple messages of all our wise ancestors, including the simple ancient Jesus and Buddha philosophies ....

I find the politically correct, moderate way the options are worded funny. Where's the "No, it should stay because this is a chrisitian nation and anybody who doesn't like that can leave and burn in hell.'
I'm sure a significant portion really mean that when they say it shouldn't be removed.

Wow, at this moment it says "5,243,674 responses" and 29% of those say In God We Trust should be removed.
That is a lot more than I thought it would be so it is kind of encouraging.
On the other hand, this probably doesn't reflect the feelings of the country as a whole (since it is on MSNBC). The same poll on Fox would probably yield very different results, I'm guessing.
When I voted it was 40% said remove it. One thing skewing it was that the FFRF e mailed members to vote on it, and besides here it was posted in my local Atheist Meetup group - so there is likely more atheists voting on it. On the other hand, we don't know if fundies are doing the same thing.

Honestly, I could care less if it stays or not. I don't see it as an official endorsement of any specific religion. I just don't see any use for wasting the ink to print it. I just laugh everytime I change the wording on the bills I get and go on. It just amazes me how much satisfaction I get telling christians that I am sure your god would appreciate a reference to it on their money. The only thing most christians seem to worship than god is money so it seems fit.

It is tantamount to government's endorsement of theism excluding atheists. Money is not based on 'trust in god', obviously. It is an advertisement to believe in 'mr invisible', but which god? Since the majority is xtian it can be assumed xtians are 99% of those who voted "leave it on".
The illusion of this poll is that the majority rules and that is incorrect. The majority opinion does not determine whether it should be on money, the 1st amendment does.
