86% to keep the words, IN God We Trust and God in the Pledge of Allegiance, 14% against.
That is a pretty 'commanding' public response.

the two arent equivalent. because 86% of "Americans" responded to keep the words doesnt mean they are God-believing. hell, i probably wouldve voted yes, even as i consider myself agnostic. frankly, i dont think enough of the pledge of allegiance to go changing the words all of a sudden. sometimes i just skip reciting that part. just like Jehovah Witnesses dont pledge allegiance to the flag, because that would mean putting the flag over Jehovah (someone correct me if this is wrong, this is what my JW grandmother told me).
and to be a pain in the @$$, im sure not everyone who took this poll is "American" and its not a public poll because not everyone has access to the internet. hell, its on nbc.com.
off my soapbox.
