Writer maintains there's no 'God' in Constitution
Johnson erred in thinking our currency in 1787 carried the motto "In
God We Trust." The first such appearance came more than 75 years later
during the Civil War, when both the North and South claimed to have
God on their side. It didn't appear on all money until the shameful
McCarthy era of the 1950s, also a time when "under God" was added to
the Pledge of Allegiance.

You will find as you look at the following it took Congress many
attempts to get In God We Trust laced on the money

.. . . You can't understand a phrase such as "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion" by syllogistic reasoning. Words
take their meaning from social as well as textual contexts, which is why "a
page of history is worth a volume of logic." New York Trust Co. v. Eisner,
