In case you think creeping theocracy isn't important

And don't see little things like the Pledge of money a big thing, one of my Facebook friends just posted this:

Yeah, having "In God we Trust" on money actually does give fuel to idiots who want to infringe on the 1st Amendment. We need to fight all instances of creeping theocracy. Contrary to the thoughts of many in here that the fights of the FFRF and others are just distractions and unimportant and shouldn't be done.

The wall of separation is supposed to be absolute. No, it's not going to be a popular stance. But it is the correct one.

On those rare occasions when I allow myself a non-diet soft drink, it's gotta be real Coke, not that sweet brown fuzzy stuff.

Actually Pepsi did not print the whole Pledge, just the three words, One nation...Indivisible.
But to these religious assholes "Under God" is more important than what the Pledge is saying about unity.
