One nation under
This is, well, concerning for a couple of different reasons. Sure, there's the basic separation of Church and State thing, but we've been over that; what really worries me is the way they say "The overwhelming support for both our national motto and the words ‘under God’ in the pledge gives all Americans great hope... CWA joins all Americans in celebrating 50 years of our national motto."
This isn't just the blithe assumption that all Americans would agree with CWA's (often odious) viewpoint; it's an implicit assertion that only those that do agree (and, in this case, are Christians) are Americans.
This is the kind of thing I wake up in a cold sweat about, having dreamt that this kind of rhetoric has made its way North to our country.
