Well obviously it's bullshit. The ironic is that it's not even historically backed up bullshit. Under God was added to it in the 1950's as a cold war tactic to separate us from the Soviet Union. The arguments in favor of the pledge fail across all levels. People who try to make some historical argument from keeping the pledge need to remember that we existed fine for 100 years without it and society didn't fall apart. Also we had no problem changing the way that we used to do the pledge.
