but that's not what it says. It does show that some will be offended by anything that mentions faith.
I'm not offended, I just think it's stupid. Also, if it says god and the department puts Christian doctrine on its site then mentions the following:
in·fi·del
noun:
- 1.
a person who does not believe in religion or who adheres to a religion other than one's own.
"they wanted to secure the Holy Places from the infidel"
adjective
- 1.
adhering to a religion other than one's own.
"the infidel foe"
noun
noun: apostate; plural noun: apostates
- 1.
a person who renounces a religious or political belief or principle.
synonyms:
dissenter, defector, deserter, traitor, backslider, turncoat; More
nonconformist;

So, to me it's not so much mentioning faith, but mentioning a specific faith and then telling people who don't adhere to said faith to be on guard. This isn't about me being offended so much a pointing out that "in god we trust" is supposed to be a lot more generic than this particular department is making it.
