I'm agnostic. And I say the pledge of allegiance with the words Under God. I use money that says in God We Trust. And when I was a kid I had to recite the pledge everyday. And as luck would have it, I turned out okay. It doesn't bother me a bit, and never has. The beauty of being agnostic or atheist is that the words Under God have no meaning to you, so if you have to say the pledge of allegiance with a couple of words of nonsense in the middle of it, than so be it. Its not going to brainwash you. Its not going to make you believe in God and be a Christian if you say it. I guess the Supreme Court will figure it out though. Its not going to change my life or my beliefs a single bit, one way or another.
