There’s a poll on NBC’s website asking for public response to the question of whether the motto “In God We Trust” should be removed from US currency & coins. The religious right of both major parties has apparently freeped the poll, which is running at 87% No to 13% Yes.

I don’t know the motivation for the question, since I know of no move to remove the religious statement — sounds like yet another manufactured issue for the grasping-at-straws GOP hard right to stir up its hardline religious base.

Go, vote if you see fit. Let’s help balance the point of view.

Update: As of Sunday morning, the percentages are the same, with over 14 MILLION votes.
