The pledge may not impact lives but it invokes strong emotions in people. Furthermore, how can you expect people who do not believe in God to pledge allegiance to him? It could prevent them from pledging allegiance to the US. Personally, I don't care but there are lot of people who do. And there are people on both sides of the issue who feel very strongly. That's why the ACLU has taken up the cause. And don't forget the "under God" portion of the pledge was not part of the original but was added much later.

As for the ACLU, here is their action page......after reviewing the page, its clear the pledge of allegiance is not what drives the ACLU.
