[55c] During the approximately five centuries preceding American independence, England experienced repeated armed conflicts arising from disputed succession or contests for the Crown, including the deposition of Edward II (1326–27), the Wars of the Roses (1455–1487), the Perkin Warbeck rebellion (1490s), the Lady Jane Grey succession crisis (1553) (Protestant/Catholic), Wyatt’s Rebellion (1554) (religious), the Northern Rising (1569) (religious), the English Civil Wars (1642–1651) (constitutional and religious), the Monmouth Rebellion (1685) (Protestant/Catholic), the Glorious Revolution (1688–1689) (Catholic/Protestant), and the Jacobite risings (1689, 1715, 1719, and 1745) (Catholic/Protestant).

[55d] Before 1776, British coinage for centuries carried religious or divine-right inscriptions, including: DEI GRATIA (“By the Grace of God”), FIDEI DEFENSOR (“Defender of the Faith”), Earlier Christian mottos such as CHRISTO AUSPICE REGNO (“I reign under the auspices of Christ”). For example, coins of George III, who was king during the American Revolution, commonly bore: GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA… F.D., “George III, by the Grace of God… Defender of the Faith.” Therefore, the Founders were unquestionably familiar with money explicitly linking the sovereign’s authority to God. United States after Independence, the contrast is striking. The Founders did not place “God,” “Jesus,” “Providence,” “Creator,” on the nation’s coinage. Nor did they place: “In God We Trust,” “By the Grace of God,” or any equivalent. Instead, early coinage emphasized: “Liberty,” “United States,” “E Pluribus Unum.” The national motto “In God We Trust” did not first appear until 1864, during the Civil War, and it did not become mandatory on all U.S. coins until the mid-20th century. It became the national motto in 1956. Likewise, “under God” was added to the Pledge in 1954. Therefore, by factual historical context, we can surmise that the Founding Fathers consciously omitted from the Constitution and the nation’s early coinage the kinds of religious affirmations that were commonplace in English political and monetary symbolism.
