All right, let me come back to the original subject.

Having the word "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance is not promoting any religion, nor will its removal promote atheism. That answers the question of constitutionality. Whether we keep it in or not is now up to the public, and the vast majority want to keep it in. Those who are offended by its inclusion are greatly outnumbered by those who would be offended by its exclusion.

Ok...I get that. But what's the other God = man got to do with it?

How do you figure? It doesn't promote any particular religion, but it definitely promotes a couple of them (Judaism and Christianity are the only two that I can think of that consistently call their god "God" in English).
