God should be referenced in laws because He is the only reason for our civil society's existence. After all He gave us our natural rights and we form government to protect them. Don't like God? Move to China

The majority of people on this earth would disagree with that entirely, god is not the sole driver for policy, nor should he be. That is the guy that committed multiple genocides, the same guy that commanded adulters to be slaughtered and to not heed any other viewpoint than Christianity. His book is not a staple of government power, and governments should not operate off of favor to one religion.

 @DoveBrooklyn from Wisconsin disagreed…8mos8MO

While it's true that the reference to God on money and monuments doesn't directly influence the formulation of laws, one could argue that it symbolically endorses a specific religious perspective, potentially undermining the principle of religious neutrality that the state should uphold. For instance, an atheist or someone from a non-monotheistic religion might feel alienated or less represented. How would you propose ensuring the feeling of inclusivity and representation for all citizens in these public symbols?
