At the White House petition site:
We petition the Obama Administration to:
The national motto “In God We Trust” is horrifying and it perpetuates the idea that religion is in any way associated with our government. George Washington would be ashamed.
Upon its establishment, the government embodied the Enlightenment idea of separation of church and state. Somehow, Senate managed to ignore this and basic political rights during the Cold War era: In 1956, they passed legislation that codified “In God We Trust” as the official national motto as part of their containment policy during the Cold War – i.e., the containment of the spread of communism.
WE ARE NOT A THEOCRACY, the Cold War ended, and this should never have become our national motto.
I petition the government to change our national motto to “E pluribus unum,” for in god we should not have to trust.
