Oh my globb..
God is not a deity's name Just like Allah is not a deity's name. they are generic terms that describes a deity that holds that title. Arab Christians use the term allah.
So at it's core saying in God we trust In allah we trust is saying the same thing.
If clinton is elected and she lets in all the Syrians she wants then perhaps we will have to shift from God to allah as they will be the ones making the rules for those of us who are left.
*emphasis mine. Remember you said that. Because you then say this shit with a video:

Anyone can declare they're a member of any religion or not (although, being an avowed Muslim or atheist is political suicide). That was Ben Carson's and Ted Cruz's political strategy - cozy up to evangelicals.
What can't happen is any formal - as in governmental - declaration of allegiance to any particular god, even something as broad as the Judeo-Christian god. This is a secular nation. Always has been.
proof? It would seem to me the bill of rights says otherwise. As a secular nation would declare it's intention to refrain from anything religious, yet the congress still opens with a long standing tradition of prayer. That the capitol building was used as a church for almost 100 years also speaks contary, the fact that congress sought and offically had a specific version of the bible to be printed and distributed in schools all point to the lie that this country was founded as a secular nation...

ooops...
You contradict yourself and make yourself look like an idiot. Clearly in that video the "god" references are to the Abrahamic god. Clearly, the "in god we trust" on our coin and in the oaths that are sworn, are references to the Abrahamic god. You can't seriously tell me that YOU wouldn't have an issue with seeing Allah on our coin or money or having to swear an oath to Allah. If you say you don't; you're a liar.
Oh and that video... you've circulated it around here more than once. I see it's your "go to". Well, it isn't everyone's go to and quite frankly, the FFRF should be petitioning Congress to make sure that the practice of prayer before any session, tour or anything related to any government office should be immediately BANNED. Period. That shit doesn't belong in a secular governmental society.
You wanna pray? How about you do exactly what your bible suggests and you do that shit in private. Read Matthew sometime and you'll know that you aren't supposed to do that shit in public anyway.
