In God We Trust is the motto of the United States of America and is seen on our currency, some car license plates, our government buildings, some documents, and is even known to be tattooed on various people’s bodies.

There have been concerted efforts to remove In God We Trust from several places, however, the faith-based motto has remained relevant for centuries.

This is due to the strong Christian influence prevalent in the United States since it's inception.

Today is In God We Trust Day.

It is observed each April 22, came about as a result of a law that the US Congress passed to effect the inscription of the same phrase on US coins.

On April 22, 1864, the United States Congress passed an act allowing for ‘In God We Trust’ to begin appearing on US coins.

From 1864 until 1938 it appeared on various US coins, each for a different duration.

It has appeared on the penny since 1909, the dime since 1916, and on all gold coins, silver dollars, half dollars, and quarter-dollar coins since 1908.

In the United States the phrase is more than a motto, it is a tenet and conviction of a large segment of the population.

God bless America.
