because we are afraid of communists

that's when most of the pro-religious stuff really got turbo charged. congress even passed a bill in the 50's adding "UNDER GOD" to the pledge of allegiance.

"In God We Trust" predates the Red Scare by a long time. It was suggested during the Civil War as a way to indicate to future generations that despite the country being "shattered beyond reconstruction", no, we were not a "heathen nation."

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_God_We_Trust for the text of the letter making that suggestion.

Not quite related, but it strikes me as funny that the pagan goddess, Libertas, gets so much stage time along side "In God We Trust" given that whole First Commandment (Second in Judaism) deal.
