IANAPoliticalAnalyst, also IANALawyer.  However, I recall some writings from
some time ago that qualified "seperation of church and state" to mean that "the
government shall not promote any particular religion, or show preference for
any particular religion, or establish a governmental religion" not that "the
governament shall seperate itself completely and totally from *all* religion".

Frankly, I don't think that the point is that the Pledge of Allegiance is
unconstitutional, but rather that forcing people to participate/recite is.  In
that vein, I think the author of the story linked above above got it all wrong.

The Next Flamewar over this, we should move to geeks at ...
