Because most ppl are christian in the united states, and the presidents have been christian, and so the presidents have taken very christian actions to put god on your money. |
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.

Lol wut?
The presidents have all been members of religions incredibly similar to Christianity (Unitarianism holds many Christian values). Plus, the one I find strangest is Eisenhower being between 3 different religions.
And the last part is some propaganda bullshit that I won't even bother with.

My bad, Howard Taft. To be honest, I get many of the unimportant presidents confused.
As I said, many of the early American leaders were very critical of Christiniaty. Benjamim Franklin said, "Lighthouses are more useful than churches." And other famous names were just as critical.
The last part is true, and you are unable to argue against it. For people seeking power, it is a lot easier to tell someone that they will be rewarded when they die than it is to reward them while they are alive.

Taft was a Christian Unitarian.
It's different then what a Unitarian is now.
