Yet this country was founded on Christian principles. Am I the only one who finds this highly ridiculous as well as ironic?
What do you think?

Remember that the words "under God" were not inserted until 1954 by Congress. That means that there are MANY people living today who originally learned the pledge without that phrase. Our Constitution guarantees religious freedom and we live under a separation of church and state.
I wouldn't care if the phrase "under God" is removed from the pledge of allegiance because I still have the right to call the Supreme Being that I believe in God, just as our Muslim brothers and sisters have the right to call their's Allah.
