Yes. It's a violation of the principle of separation of church and state.

No. The motto has historical and patriotic significance and does nothing to establish a state religion.

Has it ever occurred to anyone to ask 'the reason' the symbolic name GOD is so picked on? Did I hear correctly in Sunday School that our Ancient of days Rabbis's made it impossible for anyone to use God the Creator Almighty's name in vain -- by conveniently not passing the name down to others ... it was therefore forgotten. GOD, or other abbreviated names, are pretty much acronyms.
Putting this motto on our various symbols of State is simply to remind us all that forces 'out there' are immensely, much, much greater than us 'down here' and are controlled by GOD out there, while our ability to print money, or to proliferate is about the height of our accomplishment here on the Earth ... I am humbled in that realization.
Get rid of the litigations by making it illegal to redesign, plagiarize or undo, our creeds and motto's.
