It should, it should say One Nation under Bush! Since he rules the county, and the whole lot of them don't know one thing about caring, or loving, or making this world a better place. As a matter of fact I feel the present government running sons a *&$#% don't even have a clue what "God" is all about. Because they don't run this nation for the good of the people, but they run this country for the good of themselves and those like them. Because one nation under God, indivisable, with liberty and justice for all, just don't ring free here! Their idea of what justice is, and what liberty means, and being indivisiable, is shut your mouth, go to jail, and divide and conqure, that's what they think it means!They don't give a **** about the people, their thoughts, there ideas what's fair, their happiness, their choices, ect... all they ever think about is themselves, and what's in it for them!

No. But everyone has their own opinions and feelings on this one- I personally think that God should remain in everything concerning our country- we are a nation built on basic Christian principles. If you disagree, don't fret- the pledge of allegiance has been taken out of our schools anyway. It's just sad.

No.
The U.S. Constitution does not say that this is illegal. It simply says that our government won't BE a religion or lack of religion. I quote:
Amendments to the Constitution - Article [I.]
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
See the phrase "make no law". That actually means that they will "make no law" concerning religion. So there can be no law to pick or ban religion.
WAKE UP AND READ.

To preface my answer, I am a white American, living in China and I am Buddhist. I am not against the Christian faiths but one of the concepts in the constitution is 'Freedom of Religion' and therefore it seems to be a two-faced saying...Under God and Freedom of Religion. With the multitude of races and cultures that have come to be part of America, I believe that that phrase is a bit insulting to others, good loyal Americans that embrace different creeds. I think the intent was not to specify 'God' as such but to indicate that we as Americans are people that believe in faiths and try to practice our religions but remain patriotic as well.

Actually, that phrase was only added to the pledge in the 1950. It seem to work just fine without it for quite a while. Not that I am advocating the removal (no "flamers", Please), just a short history lesson.

no, it's always been there, and god is for all of us, every religeon. if athiests don't like that phrase, they can just not say it. are they also afraid to pledge their alligience? why do they think anyone needs to bow down to them? i won't. they don't have to believe in anything, but don't take away my belief. they don't have the right to take something away from me.

Just remember that it was added in under the Eisenhower administration. And yes, because it's clear that "God" refers to a religious entity, and not something secular.

I can't imagine why. Perhaps to soothe the egos of a few atheists? I don't think so. This country was founded on certain beliefs that we all should hold dear. Without them, our system of government would crumble.

Then i say they should also take the words : "In God we Trust" off our American Currency, but they won't cause even our Government knows that this nation was founded by our Christian forefathers.
