Just read the text of the decision... (Score 1)

It is clear (at least to me) that the decision goes to the heart of what a "Pledge of Allegiance" is and to what it means to be an American citizen. To swear loyalty to one's country should not have a religious-belief test embedded, at least not in a country that purports to embrace religious liberty. This is irrespective of the fact that most people are never required to recite the Pledge. If the First Amendment means anything at all, it is that all Americans are free to believe as they choose. It seems to me that Congress today, in their defiant-pledge-recital-on-the-Capitol-steps photo-op don't seem to get it. It has absolutely nothing to do with pushing god out of, or into, the public square. It has everything to do with whether government has the right to attempt to push god into the heart and/or mind of a citizen.
