Fine, so if mentioning god in the pledge is 'no big deal' then it's no big deal to remove it. If it doesn't hurt anyone to have it there; will it hurt them to have it removed? Right now it seems to violate the first amendment separation clause. So remove it, right?

Sure. If the Supreme Court says its unconstitutional, they can take it out. Doesn't bother me. Now what about the money thing? Are we not going to have a truly free society until every coin or dollar bill or everything else has gone out of circulation? Should we take it out of the Declaration of Independence too? Should we change the language when its being read aloud in school so that the child who is reading it is not confused or influenced? Or should we just stop at the Pledge and move on with our lives? These are all questions we'll have to face at some point I suppose.
