I'm a Christian.
I feel very strongly that these words should COME OFF our money and COME OUT of our Pledge. I feel that a secular government is the only way we can remain a civilized, industrialized nation.

No matter how you look at it, the words are Unconstitiutional under the First Amendment. It may not matter to those of us who worship a God, it is simply not Constitutional in my view.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"

no law respecting- this is pretty clear to me.

It is unconstitutional.
Nothing good comes of leaving it in there.
If it stays, then those people who don't believe in God are offended.
Also if it stays, then religious people need to understand the full implications of it. In order for Under God to be declared constitutional, then the terms Under God must be deemed by the court as inconsequential terms of little importance. Do religious people really want that terms declared weak? I think not.


This was not the vision of our forefathers. Let's not kid ourselves. It was added to the pledge as a knee jerk reaction to the cold war in the time of Macarthism. It need to go. Take it off the money too. And I volunteer to collect all the offensive money! "E Pluribus Unum" works fine for money and anything else we need to have a national motto printed on. Until then, I volunteer to collect all the offensive money. If you wish to give me any of your offensive money, pm me.

"God" applies religion. Specifically, a monothiestic religion. This alienates pagan and athiest Americans. It essentially says that you have to be religious in order to pledge allengiance to your flag.
