I'm agnostic. While I would not have supported inserting the phrase into the pledge in the first place, now that it is in there it does me no injury. It neither breaks my leg nor picks my pocket. Raising a stink about it, though, actually does do some harm to the public, imho.
This whole "freedom FROM religion" notion has gotten badly out of hand.

Since you know that phrase, you doubtless know that religion was left out of the Constitution, as well, and that the idea of praying for guidance as the Constitution was being written was tossed.

Perhaps it just being finally recognized.
