It's just a few left wing activists making all the noise about it. The other 99% of the country wants it left alone. I think it should stay. It is part of what has made our country great.

How can anyone think that taking the "under God" wording out of the Pledge of Allegiance is a good move? This pledge really has nothing to do with religion, it is a mere fact that the reason this country was founded was due to the religious persecution in the "Old World".
Get a grip, people. Let's keep the phrase "under God" where it belongs!!!!!

this nation was founded as a Christian nation, under God, so it should be kept in. Now, if you don't want to sing that part, I would understand. Not everyone is Christian. But that would be a personal choice. I think the official version should keep "under God" in it.

The original pledge (1892) read as follows: "I pledge allegiance to my Flag, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all."
Then, in June 1923, it was changed to: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all."
Just one year later, it was changed again: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all."
The last change came in 1954, when President Eisenhower added "under God," as follows: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation under God, indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all."
So, changes to the pledge (in 1892, 1923, 1924 and 1954) are not uncommon. In fact, Congress will enact the following modification next June:
"I, a heterosexual Republican or Democrat, pledge allegiance to the flame-retardant Flag of the United States of America, and to the representative democracy for which it formerly stood: one Nation with English as its official language and a giant concrete wall around its borders; often divided, especially on issues of religion, With Liberty and Justice for the extremely wealthy and abortions easily available for all."

NO, it needs to stay the way it is. It was written that way for a purpose.
