You're right. No similarities at all. Those fucking conservatives. Comparing God to God.

The issue with the Pledge is not God per se. Its not the Pledge by itself that is unconstitutional. Do you realize that the words "nation under God" would not be removed from the Pledge if this 9th circuit decision stands?
The issue is forced recital, a parents right to control his childs religious education, and how those things violate the Establisment Clause.
Nothing to do with buildings, money, other government documents or anything else.
