In the bill, lawmakers laid out two requirements for the flag’s eventual replacement: It cannot include the Confederate symbol and it must incorporate the phrase “In God We Trust.”
That's ridiculous. The god thing is not real.

What someone else wrote:
Removing the hateful traitor emblem from their flag is a necessary and welcome step forward. But of course, this being Mississippi, they had to take that next step backward with the God stuff, didn't they?
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
