Rep. Mike Johnson, the newly elected Republican House speaker, used to conduct a seminar in churches premised on the idea that the United States is a āChristian nation.ā This ministry, as he has referred to it, is yet more evidence that Johnson is committed to a hardcore Christian fundamentalism that shapes his views of politics and government.
The seminar, titled āAnswers for Our Times: Government, Culture, and Christianity,ā was organized by Onward Christian Education Services, Inc., a company owned by his wife, Kelly Johnson, a Christian counselor and anti-abortion activist who calls herself a āleader in the pro-family movement.ā The website for her counseling serviceāwhich was taken down shortly after Johnson became speakerādescribed the seminar, which featured both her and Johnson, as exploring several questions, such as, āWhat is happening in America and how do we fix it?ā The list includes this query: āCan our heritage as a Christian nation be preserved?ā There were different versions of the seminar running from two-hour-long lectures to retreats lasting two days.
I prefer āE pluribus unum.ā Why canāt I have that on my license plate? I think it should be a better descriptor of what the US is.
Also, āIn God we trust,ā isnāt a religious endorsement, if you go with court ruling.

I personally believe it is, unless you look at āGodā in this instance being the money itself. Which could actually track if you wanted.
The cons want to have it both ways, naturally. Having it on currency provides āproofā that this is an xtian nation and itās also TOTE LEGITZ and doesnāt violate the First Amendment!
Iāve often seen people say that GOD = āGold, Oil and Diamonds/Drugsā when it comes to it being on currency.
