I think the words "under God" should be taken out of the pledge, especially since it wasn't there originally. I also think "In God We Trust" should be taken off our money. I'd also like to see some colour in our currency, but that's a whole other issue. *G*

I'm a big proponent of the separation of church and state. Our country was founded on the beliefs that people are free to worship (or not worship) in the manner that they choose. Excluding those words does not take away anyone's right to free worship, but it does make it more clear that our country does not have or promote a national religion.

The check he got from the Christian Coallition during campain times also helped him make up his mind.
