10: American propaganda and the making of a civil religion. Interview with Andrew Polk
No--"In God We Trust" wasn't inscribed on our currency during the founding era. And the motto "One Nation Under God" has a more recent origin than many might suspect.

Interview with Andrew R. Polk, Associate Professor and Director of History Education, Middle Tennessee State University.
