As for "In God we trust," get rid of it; I couldn't care less. It's meaningless symbolism. But I do think it's a little ridiculous that atheists complain about a little meaningless symbolism when public schools are practically required by law to teach atheism to children- which is anything but meaningless symbolism.
How are public shools required to teach atheism?
I think they should be required to be secular, but I think you're smart enough to know the difference between being secular and teaching atheism.

drunk? 11 am ? No! as far as violating the TOS people in glass houses should not throw stones. I have never violated the TOS and if you would like to "go there" we can!

This thread has been nadiresque for you so far. I've had friends who were drunk at 8am. I was serious when I suggested it might be what's in play here as far as your posts are concerned.
Okay; well I was going to say a,c and d and not sure about b; but fine, let's say all of them.
So, when teaching evolution, which does not exclude the possibility of deism or God existing, what would be so terrible about telling the children one theory exists that God created the Universe and caused evolution? Don't we present alternative interpretations of historical events in school curricula all the time?
