Our currency displays, " in GOD we TRUST".....ya want that changed too???

Yes, not because it violates the First Amendment, I don't think it does, any more than the pledge does, but because it's tacky and divisive.

Neither has any positive value whatsoever.
Do you really think it makes anyone more devout because it's in the pledge or on the money?

Both have profound negative consequences in seperating the Godly from the Godless when both are conservative and agree on other isues.

They are crude 1950's era propaganda. They are laughable. They are as preposterous as all the Soviet statues of Lenin or Mao were.
I want them both removed on the grounds of bad taste.

If I cash a check that says "Vote Hillary 2004" in the comments section, am I endorsing Hildebeast? Or for that matter the bank that issued the check?

Then the proper course is to push it through the legislative branch.

It is sickening that you are willing to support the court's misinterpretation of the First Amendment for your personal agenda to get carried through.

That is very low.

BAD TASTE? About the only bad thing here is the bull you are passing, as though you think you MIGHT be the next Madlyn Murray O'Hare...
