We believe ourselves to be a country with no definite religion of the people, and a country that accepts all kinds of people and faiths. So, what do we do? We revise the Pledge of Allegiance to include the words "under God". This clearly supports what we hold so dear... right?

Not everyone believes in God, though.

Our constitution forbids government from respecting any "establishment of religion". To me, it is pretty clear that the words "under God" violate those terms. My religious beliefs (and the beliefs of many others) do not include a belief in God. By legislating the words "under God" into the Pledge of Allegiance, the government is respecting a particular establishment of religion. That is unconstitutional.
