I understand younger people not knowing the history of the phrase, but he was an adult when it was adopted, surely he should understand its history better. I'm so tired of "In God We Trust" being tossed out as proof that our "founding fathers" built the country on Christian values.

I’m so tired of “In God We Trust” being tossed out as proof that our “founding fathers” built the country on Christian values.
