How Atheists Are Turning Religious Freedom Laws Against Religion
"For almost a year now, the nation has been locked in almost constant debate over various state and federal versions of the Religious Freedom and Restoration Act (RFRA), a 20-year-old law that was broadened by the Supreme Court in 2014 and has since been embraced by right-wing politicians and pundits especially religious conservatives. But in an unusual twist, an atheist activist is galvanizing support for a legal campaign to use the federal RFRA to remove the phrase In God we trust from U.S. coins and paper bills."

Well, I was inspired.
I got my wallet and pulled out the few bills in it.
I took a black felt tip pen and struck through the offending phrase.
I will do this for all U.S. currency that comes into my possession from now on.
Yeah, it's a small thing that doesn't amount to a hill of beans.
But it makes me feel better.
Try it.
