Where do we find the phrase, “In God we trust.”?
If you said U.S. money, you are correct. It’s actually a pretty amazing thing. Historically, it was the king or career who was praised on the money.
In fact, many national leaders over the course of history have claimed to be God (or a god). The Pharaohs of Egypt and many of the Caesars of Rome claimed to be gods and demanded the worship of their citizens.
In Rome, it was known as Caesar Worship and for the Caesars who practiced it, they required all people in the Roman empire to worship them under threat of death. Can you imagine being a Christian during this time? Many Christians were killed for refusing.
