'In God We Trust': Choosing Faith Over Freedom

Is using a phrase like 'in god we trust' really meaningful without elucidating what god that is?

To the polytheists, some Buddhists, and the religion-less, the idea of a single pervasive all seeing god is foreign, and recoil from the thought of the theocratic implications of a government adopting such verbiage.

Does the 1st or 14th amendment forbid such terms from being governmentally leveraged? Does a weak nod at civil religion really even pacify anyone but the irrationally religious?
