"What difference does it make?"

Ok, let me get this straight. It is ok to change the pledge to include a reference to God, but some hypothetical movement to return the pledge to what it was before is striking at the moral fiber of the country?

"The point is that the Founding Fathers expressed their faith as part of their public work and they did it in very public forums."

Some did. Some didn't. There were several who opposed public displays of faith. You keep pretending that all of the FF were of one mind on this issue, but they weren't. Washington, for example, refused to lead a public prayer while in office. Likewise Jefferson. Others, like Franklin, felt differently.
