Really? A Muslim would bother you? Specifically because they believe in Allah? Or an atheist because they don't believe in any god??

As DT pointed out, there is no nation under God. The original pledge did not have the word God. It was one nation, indivisible. The founding fathers made sure that there was separation of church and state. They came here seeking religious freedom because they had been oppressed.

Who are we to point fingers at whose religion is acceptable? Just as JFK's Catholicism or Romney's Mormonism shouldn't be an issue. The only issue is extremism, when a person's beliefs cloud there ability to think. That bothers me. Not much else about a person's religious beliefs do.
