Facts of Life
The majority of Americans have no problem allowing references to God in the public square, according to a USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll released Sept. 30. No fewer than 90% said they approved of the inscription “In God We Trust” on U.S. coins, while only 8% disapproved and 2% had no opinion. Also, 71% said that, if they walked into a public school classroom and the teacher's desk had a Bible on it, they would consider that to be a good thing — compared to only 18% who said it would be a bad thing and 9% who said it didn't matter.
