i was having this discussion in my religion class - i believe that america falsly portrays itself as a nation in which state and church are two separate things when in reality our country is influenced a lot by religion. i feel that this is very wrong and we should make various changes in our government. i think that "under god" should be taken out of the pledge of allegance or atleast change it to "founded" under god. id just rather take it out all together. i also think we should swear on the constitution when in court or being appointed into high positions like senate. i would like "god bless america" be taken off the money but obviously that may be almost impossible. true, we were founded on christianity but we were also founded on racism, slavery, women as second class citizens, etc. the law has been altered for equal rights, why s this any different? its not to me and i hope we eventually see these changes. we are no longer a nation of all white protestants - diversity is now!
