Notice the weasily conflation:

1- We say: Merry Christmas, God Bless America and In God We Trust.
2- We salute our troops and our flag.

We do 1 and 2, implied:1 and 2 go together.
-> if you don't do 1/, then you don't do 2/
Conclusion: if you don't say in God we trust, you don't salute the flag and troops.

I always marvel at the blatant dishonesty believers feel entitled to to defend their faith.
