In just how many public places does everyone
in the USA see "In God We Trust" ??

Or on all our money and in our courts....

This speaks to how our country has degenerated, not how it was founded.
That sentiment started showing up a hundred years into our history. The
founding fathers were long dead by then (and spinning in their graves,
no doubt).

Closer to two hundred, actually. We started doing this back in 50s, I
believe, as a way to show that we were superior to the godless Commies.

Increasing religious sentiment during the Civil War resulted in "In God We
Trust" appearing on coins.
