I think that Christianity was the basis for this country, and even though In God We Trust is on our currency, it doesn't have to mean Jesus. It could mean Ayatolla (or whoever the Islamic's belive in) or the Sacred Cow Of India or whoever.
As for the pledge, if you don't want to say 'under god', don't. When I was in Workand Station and in a Lutheran church as part of the Apostles Creed, instead of Christian Church it said Catholich Church, and what did I do? Say Christian Church insted of Catholic.
(PS: If there are many mispellings, I just woke up from a nap.)

I think you could afford to dispense with the rolling eyes smiley in this case, and let the ugh stand on its own, without any cartoonish barrier between our friend here and the truth, which is that the misspellings are the least objectionable and least wrong things about his post.

Charles told me to be nicer to people, as such my leaf has risen anew. Although, I'm not so certain he included utter cranial incompetence in addition with english proficiency as those offenses which do not require the pettiness of slander, but, loathe as I am to annoy anyone, I'll take it he did.
So, simply, I say, without the "cartoonish barrier";
Ugh.
He did just get up from a nap, though. So, maybe there's your explanation.
I'll let someone a little more impulsive and hotheaded cry afoul instead.

Nothing worse than to fall asleep during a Cartoon Planet maraton.

BWC: Explain to be how the singular "God" could be reasonably construed to apply to a polytheistic religion such as, say, Hinduism.

add a 's' on the end. Or whatever what would make it correct

Okay, now we have 'singualr God's', which, Cartoon Network or not, makes no sense...
This country was, supposedly, founded on the bible, and for religious freedoms... now, since at the time 'most' people were more God-believing than now, things like E Plurbus Unum would have just passed.... But, with the now 'heathenistic' society we live in people would like to see God aken from every one, since anything religious infringes on 'their' rights....
Times have been changing, and the Christian groups have not been keeping pace, preferring to bury their heads in the sands of time....
Which is what we went over in Sunday School today....
If you don't believe in God, then why does it bother you so much to have the 'In God We Trust' there? When it should be worth as much as the paper it is printed on to you??? Or are you atheists intent on trying to make everyone as you are??
More to follow, but dinner is ready... Typos or not, no nap here....
