...God' from the pledge with....? "Just don't say it then" or "It's not that big of a deal"?
Imagine our position. What if it said "One nation under Allah" or "On nation united by atheism" or "One nation under the spaghetti monster"
Can you imagine all of the protest to that?
I'm not trying to be anti-christianity, I just think it deserves an equal place among all other beliefs.

Majority cannot always win. That's what we have a constitution for. Even if 99.9% wanted to take the right for interracial marriage, they couldn't.
And it is very clear that it is refering to the christian god. Because, it says "God" singular and because christianity is the only religion in the whole world that refers to their deity as "God".
I honestly wouldn't have a problem if it said "united by our creator".

You would probably get along well with the religous leaders of spain in the 1400's.
