fully understand that "In God We Trust" is a firmly deistic statement and has no place in this country.

Sort of like how Protestants simply don't understand that a nondenominational prayer is STILL prayer and still Christian. Just because they can't connect it to some specific Protestant church isn't good enough. Those of us raised Catholic recognize it instantly as Protestant, and all those raised outside of Christianity get it even better.
