Congressman Justin Amash is one of nine members of Congress, and the only Republican, to vote no on a resolution reaffirming “In God We Trust” as a national motto. The resolution would also encourage the motto to appear on all public federal, state and local buildings.
“„“Displaying ‘In God We Trust’ on public property is appropriate in some circumstances,” he wrote. “There is no need to push for the phrase to be on all federal, state and local buildings.
“„“The fear that unless ‘In God We Trust’ is displayed throughout the government, Americans will somehow lose their faith in God, is a dim view of the profound religious convictions many citizens have,” he added. “Trying to score political points with unnecessary resolutions should not be Congress’ priority.”
The resolution passed the U.S. House 396-9, with 26 members not voting and two abstentions.
