text: Geez, get a danged education. We are NOT A DEMOCRACY WE ARE A REPUBLIC!! Our forefathers purposely kept out any mention of a democracy as a democracy is always a failure in history! America was founded on Judeo/Christian philosophies, get over it. If you don't believe there is a God what's the issue, just leave that part out. The words,"under God" are not in violation of God's word, God says not to take his name in vain, confessing our nation is one under God shows we are nothing without him.
