The.
Pledge.
Of.
Alleigence.
"One nation under God" in itself doesn't strictly denote Christanity. I recall several lines in his speech addressing people of all faiths, and even devoting a sizable portion to making sure Americans knew this was not a war against Islam.
I believe in God but I don't believe he has anything to do with political affairs. And yet even
I am not bothered or offended by the President's statement because I know he was just quoting the pledge of alleigence, and that pledge is more traditional and symbolic in nature now. If you have an issue with "One nation under God", take it up with the pledge and not with the President.
