There is a need for faith because... If God does exist .... it doesn't necessarily follow that we humans mean a thing to "him." If there is a supreme creator, we could be just an incidental, expendable life-form .... it doesn't follow that everything in creation is about us.. That is why I think the majority of humankind can live comfortably with the idea that their nations exist "under God." What that may mean to our species in general, or to us individually, is where faith-based religions come in. To me, the god of the pledge is simply acknowledgement of this supreme creator, and not an endorsement of any particular religious faith. If 90 percent or more of humanity accepts such a god --- then I think the pledge inclusion is justified. (Having dinner out tonight ... see you tomorrow!)
