That is becoming less of a posibilty as we go along it seems.
You've heard from soldiers who refused to say the pledge?
This thread contains testimonies from atheists who have suffered vandalism, threats, dismissal from jobs etc.
How do recognize an atheist?
Watch him/her say the pledge.

So now you're saying that atheists not only "come out" (even in the Bible Belt) but should also teach their kids to disobey their teachers. Get real.
This isn't the 1920s, if people can't stand up for themselves, with the law on their sides, it denotes an extreme lack of character that no law will remedy.
Again, WAKE UP. We're talking about the Pledge of Allegiance, a summary of the core American values that patriots are expected to affirm!
Attempting this only affirms that you have no argument, simply attempting to use scare tactics to convince me of your postion.
I am saying that religion should be IRRELEVANT in a Pledge of Allegiance. By opposing that, you are saying that it is VITAL in a Pledge of Allegiance. If that is not your position, then what IS your position?
What could be more simple?
They are attempting to railroad the Supreme Court's interpretation of Constitutional law. And some are already preparing to strip the Supreme Court of its powers if the verdict goes against them.
You can of course prove all of this?
