Personally have no issue with the omission.

My kids are Jewish. They do attend Religion classes/Temple etc...

The God referred to in the pledge is technically the same God.

However, it is my opinion that the reference to "God" is tied to or implies Christianity.

I say that because the ones who howl about this issue are primarily Christians.

In this country we have separation of Church and State.

My kids schools are funded with tax dollars collected by the State.

If you want your kids exposed to a particular religion then do as some of you have done and enroll them in a parochial school or as I have done enroll them in religion classes.

Flame suit on.
