The Pledge of Allegiance is neither a law nor coerced. You don't want to say the words "under God", don't. In fact, feel free not to recite it at all. But endorsing courts ordering Americans not to use those words if they wish is bad business dude. As bad as it gets.

Congress passed a LAW that inserted "under God" into the Pledge. That is the very thing I take issue with out of principle.

See, I would prefer just being able to pledge allegiance to my country without having to declare submission to God.
It seems to be quite an injustice that a person should be excluded from something PATRIOTIC just because they are not CHRISTIAN. Especially when the Constitution of the country says that the government can't force a religion on you in the first place.

If those 2 words were taken back out again it would solve the whole divissive issue of to pledge or not to pledge. Then people are free to worship whatever god they choose on their own time and at their own discretion.
