The Beginning
Madalyne Murray O’Hair was a famous agitator and founder of The American Atheists. She gained her following from her famous case in 1963 wherein she successfully had prayer removed from schools. Next, she filed suit against the pledge of allegiance to remove the words “under god”. I did quite a deep dive into her and just to spoil it for you, her life ended when three kidnappers brutally murdered her, her granddaughter, and her son in an attempt to collect $625,000 in offshore extorted currency. All that aside, at the end of my research into her I noticed something…not once did she ever lobby to have “In God We Trust” removed from U.S. currency. I suppose in the end anything is worth the fight until a whole lot of money is involved.
