As the Government of the United States...is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion--as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity of Musselmen--and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries. ....

the first coin it appeared on was in 1864. at any rate, the 1950's is when it first appeared on paper money. so, i guess up to 1864 we were a godless country...
