From the same place as the one who publishes an article that claims such a deity does exist, I would imagine.
As for "In God We Trust" on money is concerned, I agree with Teddy Roosevelt, who considered the slogan both presumptuous and sacrligeous. While it was used on all coinage beginning in the early 1900s, we managed to survive as a society without having it on paper money until 1957. It was placed there following a campaign spearheaded by a front group of the National Association of Manufacturers, a group which knows a thing or two about the god of money.
