Not all the presidents have been Christian. The last non-Christian I can think of was McKinley, a Unitarian, and before that most were Naturalists and critical of Christianity, Lincoln and Jefferson, for example.
In God We Trust is on money because religion is a very easy way to get support from people. Offering something to people after you die is a lot cheaper than offering them something while they are still alive. As long as people are guliable enough to believe these people, it will be very easy for people seeking power to use religion.
