God IS, without a doubt everywhere, all the time. He can't be kept out of schools, He can't be kept out of America, or anywhere else, for that matter. As humans we can refuse to acknowledge Him, but that doesn't mean that He isn't there. Without God, not only would our nation not exist, but nothing we know of would exist. And none of us would even be here to be debating this issue.
I don't vote Dem. But, I don't vote Rep, either. I vote for ideas, NOT parties.

Well why remove something that was obviously wanted in the first place. Anytime someone has a different belief, then it seems as though everyone should follow that belief, just because you vote Democratic doesn't mean you have to be atheist. I don't go to church, but it doesn't mean I don't believe in God! That is why we have freedom of religion, atheism, no matter what they say is a belief, so look back and what gave them that right to believe in nothing. Again, why change something is it is doing no harm? It was put there for a reason, and who says that anyone should have the right to change that, wouldn't you consider that an infringement on the writers right who wrote the writing. What is wrong with GOD, how has God ever really offended anyone, and how could God offend someone if they don't believe in it. I am not say it should be shove down, anyones throat, but is no wrong in mentioning it. We have theories, if you want to call Creationism, a theory should down our kids throats all the time. Look at Evolution THEORY, it is a theory and it is taught, not mentioned, but literally shoved down the throats of our children, so if you want to remove the theory of God then remove all the theories, all of them or none.

If a parent wants God in their children's education they can pay to send them to a religious school. Public education is just that. Public. This means many beliefs enter those doors. And that is what America is about. I feel God in the Pledge of Allegiance is outside of separation of church and state but will not press to have it removed.

Democrats do not believe that god should be kicked out of schools or public places, only that the government should not require mention or worship of god in those places. Our's is intended to be a secular nation, with the citizens free to believe and worship however they see fit, if at all.
I'll never understand how someone who claims to believe in god could ever imagine that legislation could remove god from anywhere. Do you really have so little faith?

As I believe in democracy and freedom of religion, I believe each individual has the right to worship who they please. But please do not expect my future children to worship your God in a public school I support with my tax dollars.
That is why God should not be brought into public school. However, know that you are free to pray all you like during lunch or any other time. It's just not something that will be led by teachers.
By the way, it was originally "...one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

while i exchange into 5 years previous i exchange into already examining the Bible on my own accord. I knew what "God" exchange into. i assume it takes some human beings longer than others to appreciate something so effortless. Many adults nevertheless do no longer understand what a republic is. The politics section right here demonstrates this actuality splendidly.

The U.S. is NOT a Christian nation. Check out the Treaty of Tripoli (Article 11). In the U.S. you are free to believe or not believe in God. Anyone that forces God on others is not a believer in the constitution.

The separation of church and state is clearly implied in the Constitution. The First Amendment says that Congress shall pass no law favoring any religion or the establishment of a religion. This means that any institution that receives federal aid shall not show any preference towards any particular religion. Since public schools receive funding, they are included here. If you want your children to attend a school that gives religious instruction, send them to a parochial school.

And your question is what?
The fact that it's Christian crap shoved down everybody's throat, not GOD, is what lots of people object to. Some folks are Buddhist, some pagan, some worship multiple gods. These folks aren't even athiests!
I have no issue with God, but we don't need to be teaching Christian stuff in public schools. Send your kids to a christian school if that is what you want.

It doesn't matter what you or I believe about that. The U.S. Constitution says the government has to stay out of religion, and public schools are run by the government. Any student can pray or exercise his religion all he wants in a school, but the school can't make it official. I don't want the government teaching religion to my kids, why would anyone else?
