Speaking of the pledge...
First, why pledge allegiance to a "flag"? It's weird, right?
Second, they added the phrase "under god" later after the pledge had already been adopted. But they also say, "indivisible". If atheists are full citizens, then it cannot be both "under god" and "indivisible", because you've just divided people into atheists and theists in the words immediately preceding.
When you start to put all the pieces together, the pledge is a bunch of nonsense that isn't even consistent with itself. How can you even make such a pledge?
It's not meant to be logic - after all, it's targetting kids, who are hardly likely to challenge it and actually think it through like you did - it's meant to train kids to be Nationalistic.
