While I don't agree with the inclusion of 'under God' in the pledge of allegiance, I think it's an important thing to have to build a common sense of national unity.
And our money does have references to god on it, and Congress offers prayers at various times, and other miscellaneous things, sometimes you have to pick your battles and fight the big fights. There was a case several years ago where an atheist father tried to have 'under God' stricken from the pledge (it was added during the McCarthy red scare era), and he was widely reviled by many. It was counterproductive for those of us that share his beliefs.
