Pledge of Allegiance ruled unconstitutional

But what about the people against whose beliefs it might be to pledge allegiance to anything without acknowledging that allegience secondary to their allegience to God? They cannot "pledge" their allegience to the nation and not include the reference to God, because if push came to shove, they'd have to choose God and therefore they'd have been bearing false witness every time they took the pledge. The only solution is to pledge allegience in such a way that they acknowledge God as superior (eg: "under God")
