This is not a Christian nation and saying it is un-American. It does not matter who the majority is, because in America the minority is just as important as the majority.
Saying it is a Christian nation, is taking a step back in the morals of America.

Although this great Nation was founded on Christian principals and a God which gave us our inalienable rights, the term God does not mean he has to be a Christian, so yes, it should stay.
The phrase "One Nation Under God" was implemented during the Eisenhower administration in the 1950's to separate the United States which was founded on Christian principles from the communist nations of Russia and China.
The U.S. Congress wanted a Pledge to separate the United State's founding principals from those of our enemies who were totalitarian atheists.

There's nothing wrong with under God in the pledge.
America was founded on Judeo- Christian values and has always had a strong religious background since the arrival of the Pilgrims.
Having Under God does not force people to convert to Christianity, nor say that you have to.
The Under God part in the pledge can be shared by Christians, Jews, Muslims, or even people who have a belief in a Higher Power.
America cannot forget our religious upbringings. And we can also forget the fact that we really are a nation under God and this county was founded on religious freedom by Christians first. (Then of course the Jewish people came and their values were incorporated into this country too. That's why this country was founded on Judeo- Christian values)
The God believers must fight the communist atheists who want to remove God from the pledge.
Nothing about Under God violates separation of Church and State.
It's not like the government is forcing the people in this country to follow a certain religion.
The communist liberal atheists though love to use bogus arguments like that to try and make America forget our the whole meaning of our nation's founding. RELIGIOUS FREEDOM!
If you've ever read any documents written by the Founding Fathers, you will see a lot of references to God.
They made it a crucial point not to forget that God the Father, since America was founded for religious freedom.

America is indeed a Christian nation and was founded upon such principles. The fact that there are those in society who wish to be different does not mean we should change the pledge to accomodate them.

Some people argue that Under God means just a belief in a Christian God. However, every religion believes in God. It doesn't make any difference what you call him, he is still God. In my humble God fearing opinion, the phrase Under God when used in the Pledge of Allegiance is not stating Under a Christian God, it is stating under one more powerful, more gracious, more forgiving who is believed in by every religion in the world. So keep it where it is.

You are 100% Wrong on both examples. Yes, Under God, should be kept in the Pledge.

Yes. Under God is true, and just because some people don't agree doesn't change the fact that America is a mostly Christian nation in the past and present.

What is the problem if someone doesn't believe in a God they just don't have to say that part of the pledge. Just because one person doesn't believe in a God doesn't mean that the people standing next to that person has to pretend that they don't believe either.

I say yes it should. There were many religions way back when just as there are now.
Assuming that everyone worships the same God in the same way is absurd.
Without declaring what religion one is it still is accepted for people to believe in a Power greater than themselves.
