68. Want to give some context on that "mentioning God" thing?
Because there are times when it is offensive. "In God We Trust" is VERY offensive to me. I'm part of "we" and I don't believe in a god, so our "national motto" seems to tell me that I am not really part of this country.
"One nation under God" is equally offensive to me. I have to listen to the pledge every day in school. I don't believe in God. Why is is appropriate to have something so not inclusive be a pledge for all?
