The whole reasoning behind the separation of church and state was to prevent the church from controlling the government. If you paid attention in history class, you realize how powerful the church used to be in Europe, and if you read the newspapers, you know how powerful another church is in the middle east.

That being said, this country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, and the majority of its citizens still believe in those principles. For this reason, I am in favor of leaving the phrase "under God" in the POA. I also respect the right of anyone not liking the phrase to not say it. But we can't please everyone - just because it offends a small minority of people is no reason to take away something most people want. My biggest gripe about that phrase is that everyone says it as if there's a comma before it - There's not - It's:"One nation under God," not "One nation, under God."

A statue of the ten commandments at a courthouse, however, is different - it is a blatant display of religious laws on the very grounds where our secular laws are practiced and tested. IMO, that is an inappropriate placement of religious doctrine.
