$100 bill redesign ignores the unconstitutionality of In God We Trust

When telling people why "In God We Trust should be removed from our money (www.BillStamp.com/about), I get a couple of typical responses, and sometimes even counterarguments. 

Here's one: "But it would cost the taxpayers lots of money to redesign the dollar bill." There are a few things wrong with this. Notably, "it costs too much money" is no just reason to continue violating the constitution and alienating fellow humans for their religious beliefs. But even more glaring is that fact that money gets redesigned ALL THE TIME, making the marginal cost of IGWT's removal $0. Case and point: the $100 bill was just redesigned with all kinds of expensive new security features.

It would have cost $0 for someone at some stage in the process to hit the phrase with the pink end of a pencil, but no one did, because awareness of this constitutional violation is not yet high enough.

To help, please make/buy a stamp and start stamping out "In God We Trust":
