It really depends on how you look at it... I don't think it's necessary to take it out... this idea of seperation of church and state isn't specifically writen into our Constitution and this country *was* founded on
"Christian" values.. our founding fathers were very religious men. Reciting the pledge of allegiance isn't required... it's optional... if you don't feel comfortable with it you can just opt not to recite it.. it's not a big deal. |
