I'd say it's too much ado by people who have WAY too much free time on their hands. The point of the can was to emphasize the united nature of the nation in the context of the recent events. The point of the can was not to promote the desirability of leaving G-d out of things any more than it was promoting the desirability of NOT having liberty and justice for all. If someone is going to make the first point on the basis of a lack of a phrase, he must also make the second if he wants to remain consistent. Unfortunately, consistency is the last thing to be expected from most people who derive their sense of being from bitching.

"...The point of the can was not to promote the desirability of leaving G-d out of things any more than it was promoting the desirability of NOT having liberty and justice for all..."

Exactly. For that matter, they also left out the word "republic."

Perhaps this means that the folks at Dr Pepper/Seven Up think that this country is instead a DEMOCRACY...
