A little thought about "one nation under god"

This is a comment posted in response to a poll asking if "under god" should be taken out of the pledge.

Taking "under God" out of the pledge as absolutely nothing to do with taking God out of our daily lives. We shouldn't need government assistance to think about God. The more we rely on the government to help us keep faith, the less meaning that faith has. God doesn't want people to be forced to think of Him. He wants us to do it of our own volition. God knows what is in our hearts. Putting such a slogan on money or in our pledge isn't done for God, it's done so we can get credit for our piety from our fellow man. IGWT and "under God" have become about bragging rights and taunting non-believers, not love of God. Matthew 6:5, anyone? We should be ashamed of degrading our faith in this way.

It came from this poll.
