I've recently taken to saying that instead of contesting Ten Commandments monuments on public land, we should find a way to get Christians to fight with each other over which version[1] is up. Some Christians have recently done a good job of illustrating why I think that would work when one found something on their money that they did not like[2].
The obvious guess is that this was done by a Muslim, but whoever did it appears to also have a problem with "In God We Trust" being on our money. I'm one of those atheists who marks out "In God We Trust" from his money[3], but I like this because it makes my point even better than I do with the Sharpie because of how much the Christians hate Allah being on their money.
Pity that so few of them get it. The problem they have with Allah being on money is exactly why their god shouldn't be on it either. At least one about a thousand people who found the post get it, even if it's less than the amount who liked the Islamophobic comment.
And that's why I only cross out the unconstitutional phrase instead of putting something atheist on it. Because I'm not a hypocrite like the Christians whining about the wrong god being on their money.
It's supposed to be secular, with absolutely no mention of god, and this shit is why.

They don't like someone else's religion being pushed on their money. And, of course, some particularly despise Islam on their money.These are starting to show up all around our country!After dinner she took a $1 dollar bill out of her purse and displayed it on the table. Underneath the words "In God We Trust" someone had stamped the dollar bill in red ink---NO GOD BUT ALLAH.We asked her where she had gotten this dollar bill. She said it was part of her change in Alamosa , CO .We took a picture of her dollar bill. If anyone tries to give you one of these dollar bills as change, please refuse it and ask them to give you a dollar bill that has not been defaced.Send this on to everyone you can. God bless our USA !And, He'd better bless it quickly before what we know and love is forever gone!
