It doesn't establish a religion, so no.  Civic religion is not unConstitutional.

This.  Even if one were a hard-core separation-of-church and state proponent, they would have bigger fish to fry than this.

I doubt that. Recall the ACLU suing Los Angeles County over a cross in their county seal...

But "God" isn't so nonspecific as you say. Muslims call God Allah. Some Jews say G-d. Hindus and several other religions acknowledge many gods. Etc.

It seems like a stretch to claim that "In God We Trust" is just meant to refer to an entity so nebulous that it can stand for whatever non-religious people believe.

Yes, but they all mean the same thing.
