Genuine question. Just looked at a dollar bill I have and thought that the USA government is pro seperation of church and state and enforces freedom of religion. So I thought it was odd that this was on the money.

A quick look on the Internet that threw up various answers ranging from the sensible arguements such as The USA had strong Christian values influencing the change in the  1860's, to the down right absurd saying it was influenced by the illuminati and the masons.

Also do you see the reason you think is correct being significant enough to put it on the money?
