What's unconstitutional about the phase "In God We Trust"? The first amendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion". No law is being written by using the words on the flag. This subject has been reviewed on the federal level many times from Aronow vs United States to as recently as last year's Supreme Court case.

The court in the Aronow case stated in its opinion:

"It is quite obvious that the national motto and the slogan on coinage and currency 'In God We Trust' has nothing whatsoever to do with the establishment of religion. Its use is of patriotic or ceremonial character and bears no true resemblance to a governmental sponsorship of a religious exercise. While 'ceremonial' and 'patriotic' may not be particularly apt words to describe the category of the national motto, it is excluded from First Amendment significance because the motto has no theological or ritualistic impact. As stated by the Congressional report, it has 'spiritual and psychological value' and 'inspirational quality."
