Children standing at their desks, all faced in the same direction (facing the flag), all doing the same thing (right hand over heart), and chanting the same thing...
I remember at Cordova Park Elementary School in Pensacola, FL, we would recite the Pledge of Allegiance, then each teacher would play "God Bless the USA" on a tiny little turntable and we would all sing along. It's freakin creepy, to think about it now.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
