A lot of things go against our constitution. Doesn't stop them from happening though.
Things like "In God we trust" or "One nation under God" are just expressions ? Only implications ? Emotions ? No constitutional laws are broken by expressing your opinion or by using them on your paper money or teacups. The US Church, their priests and all the magicians coming out of the Churches have NO political power in the US.
Actually, when both are enforced by the government, which the pledge was until 2001 or so, and which the coinage still is, they are clear violations of the Establishment clause.
And if you think religionistas have no political power in America, I'd suggest you have a bit of reading to do.
