Subject: RE: BS: New things about atheism
I am totally against the added line in the pledge of allegiance. It wasn't put in until 1953, at the height of the Red Scare so I was well out of elementary school before it came along.

It should be taken out- I think the pledge alone is bad enough.

However, the line "one nation, under God", imo needn't be taken as referring to a "Christian God". I should think that most thinking people accept that Great Spirit, Yahweh and Allah all refer to one God.
