The pledge of allegence should have the words "under god" even though not everyone is Christian??
Why do you think that, also...?
Have a nice day!!

FIRST - "under god" was ADDED in the 1950's...
Second - we are NOT "united under god" we are "divided over god".
Third - Christians don't have the monopoly on God. Most religions believe in God.
Fourthly - I'll bet the men wouldn't mind if we changed it to "under
Goddess".

Atheist here. Doesn't bother me. I don't let little piddling things like that bother me. God on money, god in the pledge...no biggie, really. There are more important things in life, ya know?

Christians aren't the only ones who believe in God. I am pretty sure it's something like 80 percent of people in the US believe in God, but they are all not necessarily Christians. And, I think it should stay for tradition sake, too. If athiests don't feel comfortable saying it, then they don't have to.

I think if you want to say it, you should have the right to. If you don't want to say it, you shouldn't have to. The pledge of allegiance should be the epitome of free speech. People should be free to make their own choice on the subject.

I'm an atheist and I don't care. You're never forced to say the pledge.

Under God should continue in the United States because it is part of our history, not for the religious beliefs behind it.

I know there's a seperation of church and state, but I don't mind saying it. It's not like my teeth get pulled everytime I do.

Well, technically that should offend no monotheist, but I don't think it should. I also don't think there should be a pledge at all. It's creepy and nationalistic.
