I thought he was confusing "in God we trust" with "under God."

That might be the case too. The 50's was a massive change in terms of adding "God" everywhere in the US, but that's communism for you...always ruining things.

If we could convince China to but the phrase on their coins, maybe it would taken off of ours.

Of course, isn't the US warming its relations with China?

I certainly hope so :S
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word

If I referred to anything being a god, I'd call it wikipedia lol

I recently made a speech at my school about public school prayer, and brought up the pledge and 'under god' being shoved into it in the 1950's.

As interesting a topic as I genuinely find this, if, and I am not implying, insinuating or assuming anything, this has anything to do with religion, it is a less then weak attempt. I see no link.
