People who want government to promote their monotheistic belief over the beliefs of others claim they are defending majority rule and minority tolerance for majority beliefs. They are wrong because in a democracy the minority right to equal civic status trumps majority rule and because government neutrality is not a form of intolerance towards majority beliefs. We are a majority monotheistic country and a government of, for, and by atheists and polytheists no less than monotheists. Laws and daily government school rituals that claim otherwise taint government with a chauvanistic prejudice that is just as pronounced as it would be if it was a promoting majority Christianity instead of a majority monotheism. Democratic ideals are undermined when a majority misuses the instruments of the state as a means to assert they are favored citizens over other citizens based on a difference in creed. Neutral government silence is equally tolerant of majority and minority beliefs. Calling for such governmental neutrality exhibits no more intolerance of majority beliefs than calling for government neutrality regarding political parties and commercial products exhibits intolerance of the majority political party and most popular commercial products. Government has no business advising citizens which belief they are expected to adopt just like it has no business counseling citizens which political party they should join or commercial product they should purchase.
Congress added uG to the PoA in 1954. Congress mandated placing "In God We trust" (IGWT) on all currency in 1955 and declared it to be the national motto in 1956. These were changes to our laws made during the height of the Cold War that should be reversed as soon as possible by our federal courts as reaffirmation of our principled democratic commitment to avoid making legal distinctions between citizens based on the private content of individual conscience.
