Then all those "conservatives" who yell about others wanting to "strip God out of the schools" by not saying the Pledge are rather stupid then, are they not?

Those that try to strip God out of the schools are trying to do so by any means...even if it means trying to keep even the word 'God' from entering schools (unless it's used as a cuss word, of course). This is just one brick in the wall they're trying to create. We're simply trying to keep them from making the wall any bigger.

If I asked you to say we're "one nation under Satan," I'm pretty sure you'd agree that it would be a religious pledge.

No I wouldn't. I'd just say it's a stupid comment, seeing how this nation isn't built on Satanists, and it detracts from what the Pledge stands for. It doesn't stand for Evil, it stands for Good. Now, if it was a prayer to Satan, then it would be religious. However, it's not.

Alas, I'm off to other things, but here's my stock link for government school threads:
