> Allah = Christian God = Yahweh
There is no consensus on this, either among Muslims or Trinitarians.

There's no consensus that what's actually worshipped is the same God. But as far as meaning of words go, Allah literally means The God, and Arab Christians use it to refer to the Christian god. There's also no ambiguity that Yahweh specifically is "the god" for both Christians and Muslims.

stay home, stay safe.
the mask is for their protection, put it on while you're working
Are you sure that is the case at the federal level? Some states or governors may sometimes do something like you suggest, but I think at least the Supreme Court is more reasonable. Some examples here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_...
> In God, Yahweh, Allah, Buddah, et al we Trust
Some comments, a bit off topic:
* "In God We Trust" only became the US motto in 1956, presumably because of the "Red Scare"
* Allah = Christian God = Yahweh, so your proposed motto sounds stupid. (Though I think I read somewhere of a theory that the Torah is actually an aggregate work, so that different parts actually speak about different gods, or something like that...)
