    Yes, it should the remain the way it was written.
    People shouldn't interpret the Pledge of Allegiance so seriously. They could easily substitute Buddha, Allah, Yaweh, or any divine figure they choose. The linguistic value of "God" is pan-religious.

    The thought that we are not a nation based upon the belief in God is rediculous. Although the original pledge did not include the phrase, our ancestors felt it necessary to add.

    Yes, it should remain to remind people of the values of the founders.
    We were created under the principles that define true Christianity

    Yes, but for other reasons.

    No, it was put in for explicitly religious purposes and as such should be removed.
    It may be a country under MY God but not for others. I would not pledge my allegiance to a country under a different God so why would I ask others to do so? Government should be religiously neutral in...

    Dumbasses. It wasn't written that way and it sure wasn't around when the Founding Fathers were alive.
