This isn't exactly the kind of topic I like talking about, but this really caught my attention and I didn't know where else to put it.
Today I found a poll on Facebook which asks "Should we take "One nation, under God" out of the pledge"
I, being a Christian, said no. But as I scrolled down I found an interesting comment from someone who answered "no" to the poll.
Here is his reasoning. I found it to make total sense.

I voted "no". We should just get rid of the pledge of allegiance all together. It's just a load of crap.
The USA isn't indivisible, it isn't under God, and most Americans have no reason to pledge allegiance to it. Quick reasoning:
The states, under the constitution, can legally secede from the union (ie. it isn't indivisible).
Religion is constitutionally separated from state (ie. the legal nation isn't under God).
Most Americans should defend their friends, family, and other americans, before they defend the government (ie. they shouldn't pledge allegiance to the government, but the people themselves).
A very interesting thought.
