      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.
