B/c there are some people in this country who believe that THEIR God is the ONLY God. That their God does not include muslims or jews or hindus or buddhists. I have no problem with the way the pledge is but we need to clarify that when we say "God" that we mean it in a general way. Not just the Christian god. Without that clarification, then appears that we are living in a Christian theocracy and I don't think that is the image that we want for our country.
