Remove "Under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance

Remove "Under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance

The Issue

E pluribus unum was adopted by an Act of Congress in 1782 as the motto of the United States meaning "Out of Many, One". With the growing trend in the United States of skeptics, non-religious, atheists/agnostics, and unbelievers "One Nation Under God" doesn't represent "We the People". This is not an attack on believers of any faith, group, or belief. America is a place where people can speak and think as they want to. This is also a country where people can choose not to believe in something. In order to form a more unifying country it is important to create a motto that truly represents all of us.  Let us once again be "ONE NATION INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL".
