The pledge of allegiance is one of the last things I would be concerned about with separation of church and state. It's a two word appositive in a pledge you don't even have to say. Not really a pressing issue, imo. What needs to be rectified is the double standard which Congress lives by. Politicians will decry separation of church and state when they need to use religion to rationalize their policy (for abortion, stem-cell research, *** rights etc).
