the term God within the context of the Pledge is generic and applies to anyone who has an ounce of religious belief
No, it does not. I refuse to accede to your name for a deity, precisely because of your propensity to leap to absurd conclusions as to what is meant by someone else's words. If I said 'God', you couldn't help yourself but wrap up your own version/interpretation of that word, and then impute those beliefs to me, simply because I used the same word.
I doubt seriously you'll ever begin to see my point, just as you won't about that ridiculous assertion about 'secular humanism'. Lack of a reference to religion is simply that, a lack of reference -- no implications, no inferences, no hidden agendas, no mention, pro or con. That's all it means.
Conversely, a specific reference to religion, instigated by a state-sponsored/mandated institution, constitutes an endorsement of religion, and in this case, a particular flavor of religion.
"Congress shall make no law...". Just because it's been abridged, squeezed and stomped on before is no reason to continue.
Refusing the right of students to acknowledge the existence of a God in school and the honor of pledging their loyalty to God and country, would be a prime example of government being an adversary of religion and religious expression.
By the way, you forget to mention the Free Exercise Clause in your quote.
Yes, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."
WADR, what religion is being established by the word "God" in the Pledge?
Careful, this is a trick question.
