you don't have a religion though, you can still say the pledge if you want. And the pledge of alleageance isn't the ONLY way to show your patriotism or whatever for the country. you donn't AHVE to say under god, how about saying everything else BUT that if it drives you that much insane. they're just words, hell, whenever our class said the anthem, i didn't care for it nor did i mind saying under god or anything, and i wouldn't even consider myself a christian at the time. quit whining about being singled out about not being able to say the anthem because of the "under god" part. the people who WANT it to be cut out feel singled out and the people who want it in feel singled because of it. just another religious thing that drives this nation to hate and patronize each other
