The big hangup on the Pledge seems to be the phrase "One Nation Under God"....which God, other religions assume it's the Christians God and the Athiests just have a problem with it all together. I think the Athiests could skip a line without having a fit...don't you?
My main objection to the pledge is actually the training of children to pledge their allegience to things they don't begin to understand. This is indeed the first real lesson to kids about loyalty, that is the problem. Loyalty should be earned, not given.
