Christianity has nothing to do with forcing people, quite the opposite. As no one forces you to go to church, no one forces you to participate in the morning prayer (that's how it is in my country)- if you want, you do it, if you don't want to, you're free to do anyhting else. If children start praying by themselves (there's no need for goverment officials. We had our theologician teacher help us- I'm talking about a normal, public school), secluded, the odds are they will become "targets of opportunity" for mockery, bullying and such (unless the school is a religious one altogether)- I've watched many tv shows and movies about the schools in the US. And I know that they're not very far from reality (most recent example, Orphan movie- Cupcake, I'd recommend you not to see it, it's a horror movie, different than the usual ones).

"In God We Trust" on money does not interfere with or negates each individual's free will and freedom of choice, doesn't "brain-wash" anyone into believing. It's not even on the spotlight, it's a detail. So, I don't see any reason to complain about it.

It started from the goverment, yes. But the people (who have the true power- the government of one nation represents the total of the people leaving in it by the law) supported it. It is the official motto of the United States of America (90% is not just a majority, we're talking about  millions of people, not a small country like Vatican or Monaco where the difference wouldn't be such). Like the script from the movie says "Backed by the government and the people of the United States of America" and "the collective faith that gave and gives cause to the bill's inscription". Since the people en masse supported and accepted it, I don't think there is any reason (for us or anyone) to keep arguing about this.
