A profession that we are a nation 'under God' is identical, for
Establishment Clause purposes, to a profession that we are a nation
'under Jesus,' a nation 'under Vishnu,' a nation 'under Zeus,' or a
nation 'under no god,' because none of these professions can be
neutral with respect to religion.

[Judge Alfred T. Goodwin of the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Michael Newdow who had challenged the inclusion of the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegience.]
