"In God We Trust" was added to currency in the mid 1950s as part of the "Red Scare" and anticommunist sentiment.

Before 1957 the national motto was E PLURIBUS UNUM - One From Many. Too commie!

This was the same time that "under god" was added to the pledge of allegiance, which before just read "... One nation, indivisible"

It turns out Barry Goldwater was right about the preachers.
