In dismissing a lawsuit filed by professional atheist Michael Newdow who sought to ban the use of 'In God We Trust' on U.S. currency a judge has ruled that, well, it doesn't mean anything anyway:
A federal judge on Monday rejected a lawsuit from an atheist who said having the phrase "In God We Trust" on U.S. coins and dollar bills violated his First Amendment rights.
U.S. District Judge Frank C. Damrell Jr. said the minted words amounted to a secular national slogan that did not trample on Michael Newdow's avowed religious views.
If that's the case perhaps the atheists really did win.
