I don't say the phrase either ....'Course I don't say the pledge. I also don't face the flag and sing the SSB. I look down during that and look up when there are prayers offered.

I am occasionally asked about one or the other that was noticed somewhere. Best answer is either truth (for those I think are actually interested) or for those who are just curious or miffed, "I'm sorry but I'm a devout Existentialist which prohibits my doing so I hope you understand." Most common answer from them, "Oh, I didn't know."
