IN GOD WE TRUST

http://www.msnbc.com/news/903240.asp?0cv=KB20

   The above is Newsweek's Gersh Kuntzman's article about Georgia adding "In God We Trust" to its state flag.  I have one post in the old archives and one post in the new archives.  I'd found the phrase as far back as 1748.
   The "Star-Spangled Banner" (1814) popularized the idea with its "In God Is Our Trust."  Below is an 1800 "In God We Trust."
