I'm not sure if this actually belongs in the freethinking category, but anyway:

I've been wondering, is anyone currently challenging the "under God" in the pledge or "In God We Trust" on the currency? You'd think that the Supreme Court would seriously reconsider these issues...how many times have these cases reached the Supreme Court? Also, if neither cases are currently being examined, how does one go about appealing the Supreme Court? I honestly don't understand why both of these phrases still exist. We aren't even "fighting" Communism anymore (that is, there's no more Red Scare--or at least no where near to the extent that it used to be). I do believe this is why the "under God" was placed in the Pledge...and now times have changed.

If the Supreme Court has dismissed this case, did they at least give a reason?
