Mr. In God We Trust

School bus driver and amateur artist Steve Kreuscher of Zion, Ill., is going to court in an effort to legally change his name to "In God We Trust," the Daily Herald of suburban Chicago reports.

That's first name "In God" and last name "We Trust."

Kreuscher says he wants the new moniker because God has protected him through some difficult times. Also, he's worried that atheists will succeed in getting his chosen namesake phrase taken off U.S. currency, and wants to provide a contingency plan to keep it alive.

"Those words are an endangered species," Kreuscher said. "You might take it off the money, but you can't take away my name."
