Cash in hand

The US is, nominally, a secular nation but has "In God We Trust" emblazoned on their banknotes.

The UK which has a state religion (Church of England) has on their banknotes:
  • £5 Elizabeth Fry (prison reformer)
  • £10 Charles Darwin
  • £20 Adam Smith
  • £50 John Houblon (Governor of the Bank of England)
Other fun tidbits:
If atheists really wanted to gain some traction in the US, they should push for a state religion.
