[QUOTE="crazyfingers, post: 11079945, member: 2707"] I'm not a Christian but I'll reply anyway. I do not believe in any god or gods and I expect that the government will not be teaching my kids that a god exists. When the government tells my kids to say "one nation ubder God" the government is stating that a god exists. The government has no right to make that judgment for everyone and expecially not to teach my kids that a god exists every day in school. It comes down to separation between church and state which requires that the government remain neutral on questions of religion. To state that a god exists in the pledge is not neutral. Neither would it be neutral if the pledge said "under no God" . The neutral position is for religious issues to be left out of the pledge. If you want a detailed explanation for why the "under God" part does not belong in the pledge, I suggest reading the original 9th curcuit ruling. It presents a very strong argument that "under God" does not belong in a government written and government sponsored pledge.
