It took it quite a while for it to log me in but finally let me sign it.

This makes sense to me, but I really don't think it warrants my time.  If it was a simple button click of 'yes'...I'd click it.

Maybe that's a hopeful sign - the White House website is so awash with atheists that they're having trouble keeping up with us?  :D
Awww,,,,we could only hope for so much!
The essence of the mind is not in what it thinks, but how it thinks. Faith is the surrender of our mind; of reason and our skepticism to put all our trust or faith in someone or something that has no good evidence of itself. That is a sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith is not.

great post Gawen, can we sign it even if we're in the UK? (I'm imagining not). As Tank's already posted though, it's great we've got a Darwin for a banknote this side of the pond.

Still we could suggest alternatives.

"To China We Do Owe" is my first suggestion.

"In Thieves We Did Trust" thieves, bankers, credit ratings agencies or financial markets.

:D given the US' financial situation that's not far off the mark right now. China's of far more value to the US than any god.

I'm going to sign this now. This has been as issue IMO for too long.
Only about 60 years. :P

That's still too long. :)

Particularly considering it should have never happened in the first place.

Do you think that if we remove, "In God We Trust" from our money, evangalists will stop asking for it?

Nope. But every little bit helps.
