CNN: Fight to take religion out of constitutional pledge

"A new poll shows that Americans overwhelmingly support the reference to God. Almost nine in 10 people said the reference to God belongs in the pledge despite constitutional questions about the separation of church and state, according to an Associated Press poll."

"Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist noted that Congress unanimously added the words "under God" in the pledge in 1954.

"That doesn't sound divisive," he said.

"That's only because no atheists can be elected to office," Newdow responded."

What do you think? I think it was put in there after the fact, and it can be taken back out. And yes, it should be taken out. You can be "one nation" without stating what God you are "under".

Of course it should be taken out and replaced with "under the gods" which would change the 90/10 ration to 10/90!
