Religious extremism on our nation by stripping away our motto of "From Many, One" to "In God We Trust"

Before you say it wasn't really about religion, it was:

“In these days when imperialistic and materialistic communism seeks to attack and destroy freedom, it is proper to remind all of us of this self-evident truth that as long as this country trusts in God, it will prevail.”
— President Eisenhower, 1956 (same year he signed off on the change to the motto and money)

Nothing makes you feel as small as a nation that says they do not accept your religion or no religion at all. That only "God" can be trusted.
The US is different from countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran how exactly?
