Z, <How do you figure?> Simple. Ever since the inclusion of God in the Pledge, this society has not become any more Christian or Jewish. Don't you think there are a ton of other factors that weigh a lot heavier than the simple inclusion of "under God" in a Pledge? To rule something an innocuous as this "unconstitutional" is to take the separation of church and state way too far. While we're at it, we might as well declare the holiday of Christmas "unconstitutional" as well. Not to mention Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, etc. Heck, let's strike the word "Creator" from the Declaration of Independence. Because all this necessarily offends some activist atheists, and because they're bound to affect young children's minds, let's remove all this in the name of agnosticism. You see how far this nonsense can go? Tenchusatsu
