Words matter. Those words "under god" were placed there to divide us, and replaced "indivisible," which included everyone as a citizen and stakeholder, uniting everyone.
"Indivisible" is still in The Pledge
Meaningless without context.
ACTON (CBS) The Pledge of Allegiance is becoming a sore subject in the Acton-Boxborough school district, all because of the words under God.
Atheists and Humanists do not accept the notion of God, says attorney David Niose.
An Acton family, who is atheist and chooses to remain anonymous, is suing the school district claiming they are discriminating against their children during the pledge. They want the words under God taken out

Are we talking about our "news" media?
I think we've gone WAAAAAYYYYYY overboard on this shit. You don't like the words? Don't say 'em and get a life.
......the McCarthy Years....
If the religious institution employe people, the role as employer shouldn't get any special privileges AT ALL. Obama shouldn't have even tried to appease those power hungry, no uterus, no milk busybodies. See what happened when he did? They felt mighty, and spit at the offer. If they're going to be political organizations, they damned sure should be taxed as such.
So keep churches separate EXCEPT when they do "this" or when they do "that".
The Founders had it right.
They don't need your help.
"No Law regarding......the free exercise thereof"

Nothing so fuzzy as "this or that," employment law is established, and what they're insisting on is the right to discriminate. everybody means everybody, and it is THEY who are looking for special privilege.
The problem is that, by saying that this "one nation" is "under god" we are saying that this god rules over us. Not the case. No god exists.
I often ask "conservatives" whether they think the laws of the USC or the bible take precedent. Many struggle with that question.
AGREED! Just let the kids leave the two words out instead of tying up the Court system.And Jehovah Witnesses refuse to "pledge allegiance" to anything/anyone other than God.
You know what they do about The Pledge in schools????
THEY DON'T SAY IT.
They don't tie up our courts with frivolous bullshit to stop other people from saying it.
Just out of curiosity... has anyone stopped to think how much it might actually cost to remove In God We Trust from all us currency currently in circulation...about to be circulated? To remake all plate, stamps, dies, etc.? Can't imagine it would be cheap.
