I'm just tired of the majority dictating to the minority in issues where there are constitutional protections.

Tell us which clause in the Constitution protects you from hearing other prople express their religious views according to their first amendment rights?

But don't get me wrong, I don't care about God in the pledge. I think it's stupid and divisive and against the spirit of this country, but it doesn't affect me.

More nonsense. This country was founded by and built by Christians.

I will care if my daughter's public school starts requiring her to state allegiance to a perceived Christian religious organization ("nation under God")

What a straw man that is. Be serious.

or face ridicule or punishment for refusing to do so.

This is not happening ANYWHERE! Do you HAVE a single real argument, or are you afraid to put your hatred for Christians into words?

None at all. I hear it every day, and work with mostly very religious people with no problem. I'm a big boy, so I can handle any backlash caused by my lack of beliefs. It's only the law + captive child audience I have a problem with.

... who realized the tyranny that can result from mixing religion and government, and therefore put safeguards into the Constitution to prevent it. This country was founded on freedom for all, living together with our vast differences with one connecting thread: being American. "Under God" is divisive because it singles out one group of preferred people over the others.

This is not happening ANYWHERE!

I'll bet it is. I have a story around from someone telling how it was to grow up a known atheist child, and it was pretty bad. Kids pick any difference in order to torment other kids. It's worse when their parents have told them that atheist kids are detestable devil worshippers.

But as I said I don't personally have a reason to do anything unless something actually happens to one of my daughters.
