In god we trust was added in the cold war because the old saying may have promoted something other than capitalism

'E pluribus unum' was pretty good, but I liked 'mind your business' too.

No, it was added during the cold war because the commies were seen as godless heathens and the religious assholes in charge seized the opportunity to push their brainwashing on us using "do the opposite of the commies" as an excuse. There was never any legitimate concern about "e pluribus unum."

It's the same story as why they reflexively oppose almost anything proposed by a Democrat today.
