Michael Newdow, a California doctor who took his fight against public school recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, said Sunday that his next move is to file a federal lawsuit challenging the national motto "In God We Trust," printed on U.S. currency. The high court rejected Newdow's Pledge case in 2004 on the grounds that he lacked standing to bring the lawsuit because he didn't have custody of his daughter.

An atheist who has spent years trying to ban recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools is now challenging the national motto printed on U.S. currency.
Michael Newdow said Sunday that he planned to file a federal lawsuit this week asking for the removal of the national motto, “In God We Trust,” from U.S. coins and dollar bills. He claims it’s an unconstitutional endorsement of religion and “excludes people who don’t believe in God.”
