It's easy if the bill was printed from 1928 to 1953, the last series year $5 silver certificates were issued. All bills will have the words SILVER CERTIFICATE in the banner across the top, and with one exception they'll all have blue seals and serial numbers. The only exception is a series of special 1934 and 1934 A bills printed for use in Hawaii during WWII; these have brown seals but still say Silver Certificate.

Older bills may have the words Silver Certificate or they may say something like "Five Silver Dollars" on them.

$4 to $15 depending on how worn it is. However, it's not a silver certificate. The red ink and wording at the top of the bill will tell you it's a United States Note. The last $2 silver certificates were dated 1899.

How can you tell if a bill is a silver certificate?

Bills printed from 1928 till 1957 (the last series year) will have the words Silver Certificate printed across the top of the bill's front. In most but not all cases, the seal and serial numbers will be printed in blue ink. Some special WWII bills may have brown or yellow seals. Older (pre-1928) bills may be more difficult to identify. Some will say Silver Certificate, but others may use words such as "5 silver dollars" or "one dollar in silver coins", etc.

What is the value of a 5 dollar silver certificate series 1953A without the in god we trust on the back worth?

As you can tell from looking at any modern coin or bill, the motto is In God We Trust, so I updated your question accordingly. That motto was added to bills starting in the late 1950s so your bill is not an error, it's just too early to have the motto. Regardless of the series letter, a circulated 1953 $5 silver certificate is worth (at retail) face value to $8 depending on its condition.
