Ok, so I heard that the 'Under God' part of the Pledge of Allegiance is going to be taken off.
What do you think? Should it have stayed? Will these be action be done, or will continue to stay in the Pledge of Allegiance? Should the Pledge of Allegiance even contain 'Under God' in it? |

Ahem, I was naturalized about 6 years ago, and I recited the pledge with pride, 'under god' and all, even though I'm not a Christian.
It is NOT promising allegiance to God, but rather, to a country that was founded by those who harbored a wish to have freedom (and for the majority of them, it was freedom of religion). This country allows them to serve whatever religion they wish, saying 'under God' is an option. |
