I really don't understand you saying that America is a Christian country. There are a lot of Christians, but there are many other people living here too with lots of different religions! In truth, I don't think the "under God" should be removed from the Pledge. It would be much better just to make it optional, so that people would have a choice whether to say it or not and no one would be offended. Anyone who believes in God would say it, and anyone who doesn't wouldn't have to.

Actually, I don't understand why people get so worked up about religion in the first place. If you believe in something, then by all means, practice your religion! Just don't be offended or get mad at people who believe in something different. My parents both have different religions (Christian and Jewish), and they get along just fine. It's really interesting and fun to be able to celebrate both types of holidays, Christmas and Chanukkah, Easter and Purim. The only bad part about that was when Christmas happened during Chanukkah. That was awkward…

I do think most or all of the founding fathers were Christian, but freedom of religion is a part of the Bill of Rights. Today Americans practice many different religions, and others are atheists. I agree that people are free to believe what they wish and they should respect the beliefs of others, even if they differ.

@Sasha B.: Peeing on an FM radio? … xD That's funny. 🙂

@Emily L.: Yes, that is a bit of overkill. And, you live in America, yes? So isn't there freedom of speech and religion?

@Alexandra: Some people get worked up because they grew up with their religion and defending their religion is on the same line as defending their parents… does that make sense?

@Mattie: I know I'm butting in but… some people (not neccessarily Sasha) think that there being a real God equals a perfect world and, seeing as the world isn't perfect, God isn't real as well. Some other people also think that Christianity is a bit hyped. But other other people just aren't Christian because that's the way they grew up. (And they're just used to it.) I hope I haven't offended anyone. *blushes* And for the record, yes, I am a Christian. I just have a… worldly outlook on some things. I also disagree with some Christian things but I'm not about to get into that.
