That's not so much the point. They're basing this shit on seperation of church and state, which has nothing to do with keeping religion and politics seperate. Nor was it implied to keep kids from learning about religious things in school. It sole purpose was to say that America will not choose 1 religion as a "national religion" over another religion, nothing more.

Allah, Buddha, Christ, Zeus, etc etc are all referred to as "God", believeing in "God" does not automatically make you a Christian. I think if kids want to say it they should be able to. So suddenly because 1 or 2 people might not participate EVERYONE should be excluded? That's not how America works, at least not the framers intentions on how it should work. What happens if some kid doesn't like chocolate milk? Does that mean Nobody can have chocolate milk?

Congress/Courts need to start worrying about the shit that's important. Not pacifying one small group of people by stripping everyone else's rights away, not legislating on steroids in baseball or worrying about Terri Schiavo. When did we get our priorities so out of whack? oh n/m... in 2000 when idiots elected a bible thumping redneck.

Let's simplify things ... let's restore the Pledge of Allegience to what it was before the Eishenower administration.

That's basically what it says now, only without "under God," correct?

Except of course for the millions of screaming Christians led by the president, who have absolutely no doubt that "under God" refers to *their god only.*

*sigh*

So when is someone going to sue over "In God We Trust"?
