I believe I spelled allegiance right, correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyway, in school and else where if they have to. I wanted to know, seriously how many of you fellow atheists actually say the pledge, well being if you live in the U.S.
I for one do not say the pledge. I stand only because I'm forced but I refuse to put my hand over my heart or say the pledge. Mainly because it says "Under God" and I feel that saying the pledge is pledging allegiance to President Bush. (Yes I am a Bush hater)
I heard from my Crime & Justice teacher last year, that I guy from somewhere I can't remember where was expelled from school for not saying the pledge because he was also Atheist. It became a whole big deal in courts and I believe they made the school let him back in.
Topics:
- How many do say the pledge, and if not why? and if so why?
- About the atheist boy, what is your opinion?
