Re: politcally correct? or incorrect?

If separation of church and state is in our constitution why does the word god appear in our currency and is our national motto? This is a legitimate concern. Whether a majority of people want it is irrelevant. Personally I don't care but I understand why people care and these people are no different than gun loving second amenders.

The motto E Pluribus Unum ("from many, one") was approved for use on the Great Seal of the United States in 1782. It still appears on coins and currency, and was widely considered the national motto de facto. However, by 1956 it had not been established so by legislation as the official "national motto". The Congressional Record of 1956 reads: "At the present time the United States has no national motto. The committee deems it most appropriate that 'In God we trust' be so designated as U.S. national motto."
