@AlphaCentauri @caaddison88 Why are we pledging allegiance to anything?
That would be the religious beliefs of groups like Jehovah's Witnesses and the Amish, and our constitution is supposed to protect their right to be "in the world but not of it" in the way they interpret that phrase.

The Bible also proscribes worshipping idols, but why are we pledging allegiance to a flag instead of a country?
