By the way, the pledge's use of the term "God" makes no definitive comment on the nature of character of God. Such a comment or definition would have clearly been an "establishment of religion," IMO. To the secular humanist, "God" in the pledge could be "We the people." I think this is a reasonable inference. Hence, the term "God" does not impose any particular belief on anyone, but allows for anyone's concept of a high power, authority, or principle.
