They are banning the forcing of saying it, not saying it altogether. I can see where those that don't believe in 'god' are coming from...but personally I don't care. Even though I don't believe in the Christian/Catholic 'god' (which is what the gripe is about...as only the Christian religion and their many branch offs (this is to the best of my knowledge BTW) use the term 'God' as an actual name of their deity. So looking at it from that perspective...the phrase 'Under God' in the PoA implies the Christrian God only. And therefore forcing the Christian belief on others. This is just my perspective of this.) or really any other religions 'gods' I keep my mind open to the possiblity of it...so it doesn't really bother me if 'under God' is in there or not.
