The use of "God" is specifically monotheistic. Many religions have either polytheistic beliefs, or do not have any gods at all. The word is not an open term; it specifically refers to "God" (with a capital G).
This is the official pledge of the United States. Immigrants say it when they first come to America, and schoolchildren recite it every morning. This is a clear case of the government respecting an establishment of religion.
America is who she is because of her citizens; people who passionately fight for what they believe in. Our country was founded on the principals of tolerance and acceptance of other walks of life. How can we abide by those principals when our very pledge demonstrates a focus on one form of worship over others?
Take God out of the Pledge. America should be "one nation, indivisible," and not split by religious references.
