As Americans have started breaking off into different religions than the original ones that were most common during the point at which the pledge was written, it becomes necessary to change the pledge so that people are free to choose their way of worship and to not be dictated or forced to have themselves under a being which is nonexistent to their belief. It is neither the government's duty nor is it their business to conduct such religious control over people, especially at times when it is inappropriate to do so as in learning environments where it is required to recite the pledge, or even if it is not, it is still terribly awkward for the student that does not worship a god to just standby with sniggers from their peers. This violates the first amendment, and is terribly unjust.
