A federal appeals court yesterday upheld a Virginia law requiring public schools to lead a daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. Edward Myers of Sterling, a father of three, claimed the reference to "one nation under God" in the Pledge was an unconstitutional promotion of religion.
A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed, ruling that the Pledge is a patriotic exercise, not an affirmation of religion similar to a prayer.

God is not only our almighty creator, "God" is also a word. A word that means different things to different people.
If the court had ruled we could not use that word because of what it means to some people, then I think our very freedom of speech is at stake.
That is what a loss would look like.
