This is a pretty heated topic as it is, so hopefully I'm not throwing fuel into the fire by saying this:
My religious convictions have absolutely nothing to do with my political stance. But I do feel that each individual needs to decide for themselves whether they want to choose to mix the two.
You can be devout in your religious affiliation, and be an awful human being. Case in point...Bin Laden.
You can fight to the death for your country, and still be of any religious denomination, or choose not to believe at all.
The pledge has been this way a very long time. Changing it would be a very hard thing for people to accept.
But remember, the country is run by and the rules are made by politicians.
This is one very big reason for people to excersize their right to vote.
