New slogans to fit on paper currenly to replace "In God We Trust"
How about:

"In Almighty Dollar We Trust"

"In Corporate America We Trust"

"In China We Trust" (it's amazing, they're an "evil" commie nation and yet most of what we get and do comes from them... doesn't that make us evil too?)

"In Every Country but US We Trust" (that'd anger people whose jobs were lost though)

"In Republicans We Trust" (naturally, corporate america needs the pukes to keep their money pot bubbling...)

Others?

1. I always liked:
"THIS IS NOT GOD."

Some people get confused, you know.

2. Here's a serious one:
"In self-governance we trust"

or even

"In human spirit we trust"

The cynical part of me thinks:
"In families of Nazi supporters who are friends of the bin Ladens and own the defense industries that our budget supports and who care nothing for anyone who isn't them and illegally contract out government work to their friends and famly and who have so many skeletons in their closet they'll kill former nannies and others to continue to hide them so that America doesn't rise up and pull a Moussalini on them We Trust"

6. How about some history/trivia/insight about the person pictured?
Like: "George Washington - First President" or something along those lines. Why do we need *anything* about The Invisible Sky Guy on our currency?

8. How about...

14. In the Bene Gesserit we trust
Or maybe "In the Spacing Guild" or "In the Tleilaxu"?

Heh heh.

Or one for Khephra - "In Cthulhu we don't trust, but are forced to submit under anyway, nether beings being disgorged from our batrachian nemesis in a fit of ichorous emotional devestation."
