Under God flap

Well our moronic atheist from Sacramento is at it again. Michael Newdow (sp) has successfully argued a case against teachers leading their classes in the Pledge of allegiance because the words "under God". Newdow's argument was the same as last time which revolved around the separation of church and state. I understand the necessity of separation between church and state, but the funny thing is that references to God appear in a number of places that could be considered "the state". Just pull out your wallet and right on the back of the bill reads, "In God We Trust". The same phrase is mentioned all over court facilities and when you take the stand you have to swear on a Bible. I can understand that atheists may not want to say the words, "under God", but can't they just not say the words? Why make a court case out of it unless there is some other reason. I don't see the issue, but this nutjob has a problem and now our tax dollars will once again follow him to the Supreme Court where I hope the issue is decided once and for all.
