Even if they take "under God" out of the pledge, I'm still saying it. If someone doesn't want to say it, that's their problem

'Under God' is created by conspirators of religious clergymen in order to influence US by their anti-secular Christianity and irrational McCarthyism. Until now, American patriotism is influenced by redneck religious ideology instead of liberty, justice and secularism like the vision of American founding fathers. It needs to be quickly wiped out regardless of whether it's constitutional or not. Religious conservatism in itself is a worldwide threat.

I do. I personally don't want to outlaw it, but it's signaling stubborn religious bigotry and anti-secularism that's supposed to be stopped by state education. Seeing how many Americans are brainwashed by cabals of religious fundamentalists' vile 'anti-communist' conspiracy years ago is sad.

Wow we are brainwashed? Didn't even know that and I thought I was an agnostic.

I'm surprised myself... I went through school being required to say it and yet I am and always have been an atheist...
