I disagree with the In God We Trust thing on money because like you can't just pray for more money and have it be so, it doesn't work like that. So it's def. not a very practical saying on money, I more like the saying "In Humans We Trust" because that makes more cents.
Religion and God in school are not necessarily wrong but could cause trouble because each religion is so absolute in their thinking. All their texts each say the other is wrong and there's certain superstitions for how you should act etc. There's certain rules and what is considered as bad and presents a very us vs. them world mentality.
Like Muslims and Christians can get along well because they are both part of the Abrahamic religions but even then that's debatable because we have a large majority of Evangelicals that don't accept Muslims and vice versa.
Then most of the Abrahamic religions have certain similar traits like they all don't accept other alternative religions like people who are in one of the polytheistic religions.
What it boils down to is that there's so many different people from so many backgrounds, how can you learn about religion if each one is convinced their right?
Then there's atheism, some kids may not want to pray in school because that's not what they believe. There's a long history there when kids were forced to pray in school or be disciplined. The woman responsible for getting it removed in schools actually got death threats.
Thus the problem with religion in school.

@SatanBurger Here in Canada, where I live, some of the public schools are now mandating the learning of Arabic for all students in order to accommodate Muslim students, and other now formerly public schools have been converted to Muslim schools. We even have formerly Christian churches which have been converted to mosques.
