The one dollar coin - a secularist plot

I decided to check in with the curious folks at Renew America and I stumbled onto this gem by one Bonnie Alba. As far as I can tell her argument is that the new American one dollar coins are some sort of plot to rid America of her (Bonnie's) God because the phrase "In God We Trust"* has been moved to the edge of the coin.

The filthy heathens! How dare they.

*She does rightly note that "In God We Trust" has only been the US motto since 1954 during the deep dark days of the Communist witch hunts. Somehow, I don't know how and Bonnie doesn't inform us, the country managed to survive the one hundred and seventy eight years prior to that fateful decision.
