The words "under God" should not be taken out of the Pledge.

I'm guessing you want a shared burden of proof? I'll present my own case just in case.R1: "It is truly a matter of if you believe God is our Creator or not..." Actually this has little to do with one's own belief in a God. Even if I were a Christian, and I know some who would agree with me, I would not like having the words "Under God" in the pledge and on our money. Some people can realize that our own personal religious beliefs should not be applied to everyone.R2: "...but our founding Fathers did and this is something to be respected." Sorry to be that guy, but these were the elite of the elite and also valued the South's economy more than setting the slaves free. Yeah the Constitution was cool and all, but these guys are dead, alright? I doubt they will be turning in their graves if we take God out of the pledge, especially since they didn't put it in.R2: "The nation should not take the chance or risk it because, if the God many presidents and citizens of the USA believe in is real..." I concede more Americans are Christian than not, but the good thing about America is that that means almost nothing! From how Congress was designed so the little states would not be trampled by the bigger states, and the 14th amendment guaranteeing equal rights to all citizens, we kind of made the country so the opinions of the majority isn't the law of the land. "... the God many presidents... believe in is real..." I found some interesting quotes for you."Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than thsoe which spring from any other cause."[George Washington, letter to Sir Edward Newenham, June 22, 1792]"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries." - John Adams, Treaty of Tripoli, 1790.Thomas Jefferson even made his own Bible, where he cut out all the magic stuff. A process he called "pulling diamonds from a dunghill".Did you know there isn't a single mention of Jesus in the Constitution? That almost seems intentional.R3: " It should not make atheists mad if those words are in the Pledge or on money because they don't believe in a God (why should it worry/concern them?" An atheist, and any non-Christian should be very upset that God is on the money/pledge. You see, since our money is not based on the gold standard, the value in the money is pretty much trust. When I have $20, what I really have is trust that this $20 dollar bill will be worth that amount. So my money, which is backed by trust, is placed under something I don't even believe exists. Do you see where the problem is? Same for any other non-Christian American. They're money is placed under something they don't believe exists, instead of what they personally worship.R4: "America is not an atheist country and we should not change how it is." Well, if by atheist you mean secular, then yeah it really is. God is not in our school system (despite the efforts of some) and we have an amendment guaranteeing the right to practice any religion. Though many politicians like to talk of bringing Good Ol' Jesus back, he really shouldn't have been there in the first place. God was only put into the pledge/money because we got scared of the Commies in the 50's."More than a decade later, Congress in 1954, after lobbying from the Knights of Columbus and amid a red scare over the threat of the Soviet Union, added the phrase “under God” to the pledge, which even then drew lawsuits over the constitutionality over its inclusion. [1]"Case/Conclusion: I have sort of made a case throughout my rebuttals, but let me bring it together. The religious views of the founding Fathers is ultimately unimportant, as they're dead at times have changed. Something we can't throw at the window, like the Constitution and the Treaty of Tripoli, either exclude any mention of Jesus, give the right to worship any religion, or state outright we are not, nor have we ever been, a Christian nation. We were founded as a secular nation, due to a fear we would end up like Britain, the place we just freed ourselves from. The founding fathers you claim were religious also stated outright a dislike for religion.The addition of under god onto the money and the pledge were done out of fear of those damn Communists taking away religion. However, it has been over 50 years. I don't think those damn Communists are going to take away your Jesus anytime soon. Instead of just restating things I already have, I also have a new point to make. Americans don't even follow the commandments of Jesus that much. These commandments would include: Divorce (between 40 and 50 percent, [2]) Don't retaliate (World War 2, bombing the middle east for 9/11) Give all your money to the poor (Did I say "damn Communists yet?) Don't judge (self explanatory, I think) Here's a great video about this topic.Sources: 1. http://news.discovery.com... 2. http://www.apa.org...;
