The bill’s author, state Rep. Dodie Horton, said to CNN affiliate WVUE, “It doesn’t preach any particular religion at all, but it certainly does recognize a higher power.”

    I’m all for people’s religious freedoms but this kind of BS is a huge problem. They act like we are requiring the LGBTQ flag in every classroom and respond by doing the exact thing they accuse others of doing.

        It imposes nothing, it’s just a national motto that is currently used as a trigger against the left.

            It meant something and it still partially does for a big part of the country. Also, it’s part of tradition and a phrase that US is recognizable across the globe. Nothing wrong with it unless you hate faith/catholicism. Currently, it’s being used to provoke the left and people shouldn’t fall for that provocation. Other countries and regions also have some historical motto’s that partially or fully lost their meaning through time, but are part of a tradition and recognizability.

              Don’t think so. It tells everyone not believing in God that they don’t belong to “we”.
