So we’re arguing about the Pledge case over brekkie, and I’m surfing on the laptop, and I find someone who perfectly sums up my position:
From Live from the WTC: (please forgive me for quoting the whole thing, it’s just too good, click over anyway and give her come counter love, will you please?)

So an appeals court just ruled that its unconstitutional for students to be led in a Pledge of Allegiance that contains the words “Under God”. And I know that you all rushed to your computers with the burning question: “What does Jane think about that?”
Well, on the one hand, I think that the words “Under God” don’t belong in the Pledge. It’s more sonorous without them. Go ahead, try it: “One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” And it doesn’t belong in a nation where not all the people believe in God.
On the other hand, what the hell is wrong with our country that this kind of stupid liberal hissy fit gets raised to a constitutional case? I mean, c’mon. . . “my kid can’t be exposed to the word God, because they might be so contaminated by it that they’ll never recover, and there’s no reason that I should teach her to skip the “under God” part, because why the hell should I be expected to display a little moral courage?” Okay, I’m ranting, but why are we wasting time on this? Is having those words in the pledge what the Founders were worried about with the separation of Church and State? No, dear, they were worried about burning heretics, not burning cheeks from the shame of Not Fitting In, as if never feeling uncomfortable were some sort of implied constitutional right.
And think of what else this implies. It means we can’t ever have anything said in class that might disagree with someone’s religious beliefs; bye-bye, evolution. It means that we have become a nation of such pantywaists that the mere word God can send both coasts into a swooping faint. Oh, I think the court should uphold him. And then I think we should all dedicate a tiny portion of the rest of our lives to making fun of the idiot who brought this suit until he’s ashamed to show his face in decent company.
