Alan Bennett visits America
Tuesday, July 11, 2006

The May 15 New Yorker reports that Alan Bennett, the British playright, actor and critic, is visiting America and is quoted as saying: "If I had one thingto say to America now, it's don't trust in God. . . The one thing I've learned is that, whatever your problems are, God won't really help."

You know, he's right. The time has come to get rid of "In God we trust" on our coins and currency. We do not trust in God, besides which it is a violation of the First Amendment for the government to say so.
