    Technically, these folks are right that ‘God’ in the Pledge of Allegiance is a violation of the seperation of church and state. However, they are sadly mistaken if they believe they can completely separate the state from religion, or any other entity that is such a major and influential part of society. It cannot be done, and in my opinion it is not worth the energy to dissect this culture in hopes of blocking any connection between the two massive social entities of church and state. We must also accept that these religious references within the state are due to a social and national history that was imbued with religion, and specifically the Christian religion. It is folly to believe it is possible to have a completely secular state when religion is such a major part of the society out of which that state evolved.
