The entire pledge of allegiance needs to be thrown on the scrapheap of
history.

I agree. It's meaningless anyway.

I've yet to read a convincing arguement for adding or keeping "under
God" in the pledge.
Why do the religious need the government, with its police and judicial
powers, to teach their children religious dogma?

Simple. If the government is not the tool of fundamentalist Christians and
is not actively pushing fundamentalist Christian dogma and standards
everywhere it can reach, the governement is persecuting fundamentalist
Christians. QED.

Because its unable to stand on its own two feet and thus requires
government support.

on 14 Sep 2005 in alt.atheism, dear sweet Dave (galt_57@hotmail.com) made
the light shine upon us with this:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050914/ap_on_re_us/pledge_of_allegiance
Upon recitation, many if not most will shout "UNDER GOD" anyway,
disrupting the morning activity. I like the idea of going back to the
pre-McCarthyism pledge, but I don't think it will ever happen,
realistically, even if SCOTUS actually rules in favor of this judge's
ruling.
