But let me ask you a question. If this is a democracy where majority rules,

Well, it isn't a democracy where the majority rules. It's a Republic. And if the majority ruled, then there'd be a different President.

and the majority of people want to keep and say the pledge, why should we allow a minority of the population to stop the majority from doing what they wish


I don't think that anyone has a problem with the concept of a pledge - only the 1954 amendment to it that definately breaks the rules on separation of chuch and state.

Remembering that the Colonies were founded by people escaping state-sponsored religon, and that the War of Independance was over (amongst other things) taxation, I find it ironic that US citizens today have to pledge to a nation under a monthesistic deity, and pay higher taxes than before Independance.
