Conservatives freak out over sci-fi show's use of original Pledge of Allegiance.

Courtesy of the Friendly Atheist:

In the year 2024, they apparently still say the Pledge of Allegiance in school, but it doesn’t include the phrase “Under God” and there’s still controversy when people don’t stand during its recitation.

At least that’s the world envisioned in the new CW show “Star-Crossed.”

Now as many of you probably already know, the original pledge did not contain the words "under God."

However that did not stop the conservative outrage.

I live in One Nation UNDER GOD, thank you very much #StarCrossed

I'm not watching this show because they took God out of the Pledge of Allegiance #StarCrossed

@seanhannity Another L leaning new show on the CW, just cut "UNDER GOD" out of the pledge of allegiances. Another example of the PC police

Personally I think the show is probably onto something, I have every confidence that in the future we will probably no longer have religion forced down our throat at every turn.

Then we can live finally in a country that REALLY appreciates the separation between church and state.

You know, like our Founding Fathers intended.
