"Under God" is AOK, for the moment
The Supreme Court overturned a 9th Circuit Court ruling against saying the Pledge of Allegiance in schools because of the controversial word "God". Unfortunately they didn’t actually rule on the Constitutionality of “under God”. The lower court ruling was overturned because part-time dad Newdow didn’t have proper custody to sue in his daughter’s name.

Which means weÂ’ll be seeing this again sometime soon.
Incidentally, today is Flag Day and the 50th anniversary of the addition of "under God" to the Pledge.

As my cousin remarked to me yesterday it's highly unlikely that he works on Christmas either.

I, for one, wholly support either the removal of "under God" or the addition of an "s" to "under Gods".
It is the height of arrogance to force Muslim children or Buddhist children to say the Pledge of Allegiance to a God that has absolutely zero to do with their belief system that they are being raised in.
Just because there's a codified practice of the Church impacting how the state runs doesn't make it acceptable or legal, it just makes it a habit.
