Nice, I'm from Chile so I guess that I can't sign that petition, but I wish you the best luck on it.

I've signed it. 

@Jim Scotti - can someone start a petition for that too?

I now refuse to pledge my allegiance to a nation, under god or otherwise. In high school I was a little more patriotic, and so said the pledge without the "under god" part. Some people substitute "under law," I have heard. I would care about our money, but I hardly ever use cash anymore, and my bank card fortunately makes no mention of any deity. I believe it would be political suicide for anyone to get rid of "under god," and don't think it will happen, despite the many religious groups and nontheistic groups who would support a secular pledge.

I always say "under dog". :) My son says under COD (Call of Duty)

I also tell my children that they have the right to not say the pledge if they wish. They can just stand and remain quiet.

I don't see UNDER GOD being removed anytime soon, but it will never get removed unless people begin to petition the government to do so. Every change in the status quo has began as a long shot, but eventually enough support is rallied and change occurs. For years people thought segregation would never end, but it happened. Ten years ago nobody thought that gays would ever be given any support, but now we have a president that has expressed that he feels they should have equal rights. The entire country doesn't need to become atheist to gain enough support to make our government more secular. We will never gain support from others until we support the issues within the atheist community.

As a Canadian, I also demand that "God keep our land" be removed from our national anthem.
