whatever happened to freedom of worship? I suppose you have such freedoms as long as you are not Christian.

Freedom of religion in the US today means that you are free to practice religion as long as noone else notices.

Freedom of worship is the point. What if you worship Krishna? Or noone?

Or Jewish!!! We believe in G-d too!!! Hell, even the Muslims believe in someone they *think* is G-d. This ruling seems to benefit only the atheists...

The irony is, the pledge is a prayer written BY a Unitarian TO the unitarian savior, the imperial State that forcibly annexed the CSA. The original author was upset when the words "under God" were added by congress, since they were superfluous; his deity had already been named!

You have it. The problem is that you'd like to force your God upon others and they would like their freedom to avoid worship. Now you both have your rights.
