I say remove anything with the word God from anything government related. Be it money, pledge of alligence, government building, etc...
We all have the right to Freedom of Religion in America. That means we can believe in any religion (religions without "God") or believe in no religion.
Pray in school? Anyone should be able to pray in school. But it should be at their own time and will. Meaning you can not interupt class to do it on your own or it cannot be mandated by the teacher, school, or government. So forcing pray in school would be unconstitutional.
Having God in our Pledge of Alligence. Unconstitutional. Again, the government cannot dictate any religion upon anyone.
Having In God We Trust on our money. Not talked about often, but unconstitutional. This is again the government pushing religion upon citizens.
National Day of Pray. By the former President (related to our current president) stating "by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 2, 2002, as a National Day of Prayer", this makes it unconstitutional. Anyone or any relgious organization can declare their own day of Pray or anything religious. But a government official cannot get involved and declare a religious day.
Thoughts? Arguements?

Exclude God from the USA and God will exclude the USA from his blessings. The extreme right wants to put God back in the schools. Why do you think they vote? |
