But we did arbitrarily change our motto and the writing on our currency in the 50s. We went a century and half without it and suddenly it's necessary because of history/culture? That makes no sense.

Money does not specify a Deity when it lists "In God we Trust"

While many or most in the US may think of the Judeo-Christian god when they see that phrase written it actually is generic.

To specifically denote the Judeo-Christian god it would have to read "In Yahweh we Trust" or "In Jehovah we Trust" possibly even "In the Lord God we Trust"

All of those would be a violation of the First Amendment just as "In Allah we Trust" would be.
Whereas the generic phrase "In God we Trust" is not or should not be considered as a violation.
