Well, it is rather poor grammar. I'll fix it:
"There is no God."
"Satan is my co-pilot." (Santa is my navigator.)

Two arrogant believers arguing who is more arrogant and who is correct? LOL
But it's a traditional motto.
After all, tradition is what the USSC claims to vaunt.
I think sending humans to Mars is worthwhile, if they let me pick who is going.
Oh, you're one of those Christians who think that not having a belief is a belief.
Got it.
You still haven't responded to my question.
Why do Christians think that this is important enough to divide the American people over? Don't they care about the country?

A good point, though I would not be offended if our money had Stan Is My Copilot on it.

LOL Funny how people are predisposed to thinking they know someone. What do you think of someone who thinks all gays are alike?...or worse? Do you think they are foolish and self-absorbed to the point they have blinded themselves to the truth?
I was referring specifically to a statement you posted.
Are you going to keep dodging my question?

They exclude themselves. No one says they have to trust in God. It does them absolutely no harm for this to be on coinage.
Jehovah´s Witnesses do not say the pledge of allegiance, yet they retain all the rights of citizenship
I was close to tears when I read how Congress considers atheists outsiders because In God We Trust is on the currency. Does that make me an Outsider because In God We Trust wasn´t on my tax refund check ?
Should a Libertarian party member feel like an outsider because the faces of none of them are on the money ?
Are Jews and Seventh Day Adventists excluded because the government delivers mail on the Sabbath ?
The Atheists lost their silly suit, best to get over it.
How about this as our motto: "Damned if we do, damned if we don't."
I think that pretty much sums up the country at this point.

Oddly enough he appears to be an atheist that does not like the definition of atheism.

Christians are abrasively arrogant because of the 14th amendment?
Never mind.
I understand well enough.

Many of the founders were slaveowners, too, so what's your point? My point is that the government has no business endorsing religion or religious belief, especially since a sizable proportion of our citizens don't believe in a god. I do not believe in a capital "G" deity so that does not represent me.
Strictly speaking, it does not. If anything, it is an expression of the personal beliefs of the individuals who devised or had used the phrase. Namely, those leaders who did believe in a God. It's like in the days of the Japanese emperors before the Meiji Era who had believed themselves to be descended from the kami. Japanese people today recognize that such a belief is only a matter of tradition. Nothing more. Coincidentally, approximately the same percentage of Japanese, as Americans, are Atheists.
Call me crazy, but I knew you would reference such. My point is regarding religion, the government isn't advocating for any particular religion, so such issues as this one shouldn't exist. Are you not free to practice Germanic Religion as you desire? Are not they (the Atheists) free to disbelieve as they desire? I'll say — as a religiously unaffiliated person myself, aobeit one with decidedly religious beliefs — I'm absolutely free to do so without violating any laws. I ask in reiteration: what do references to any God or no gods at all matter then? Do such impact your freedoms here?
Also, I may not be a Christian, or a monotheist at all actually (I'm actually a henotheist, rather), but, my dear friend, I too worship a single deity who I consider the Supreme Being, while according to others the right to do the same. So, I myself take no offense whatsoever to the words “In God We Trust”.

The Roman Empire put its trust in the Christian god, abandoned the Roman pantheon and abolished the Pax Deorum. Why did the Roman Empire fall? Because they put their trust solely in Jesus, which failed them.
See? Anyone can do it.
