I think the point of this guy suing was not to challenge public schools forcing kids to recite the pledge, but to remove God phrase in the pledge. In my opinion this would be to force his beliefs/opinions on the rest of us who dont see anything wrong with the pledge.
Also, I think that this guy gives a bad name to any other religious/athiest group that is still patriotic. Many people who worship buddah, allah...etc are still fiercely patriotic, and have no problem with the wording of the pledge. For those that do, many simply stand, recite the pledge, and omit the god part "...one nation...indivisible, with liberty and justice for all". I dont see a problem with that.
Furthermore, to continue on removing other aspects of american society that include the bible/or God (like money), wouldnt the decision of the Judges that came up with this particular ruling be nullified (after all they swore on a bible to uphold the constitution...etc). This also holds true for the president - guess we can just turn into one big lawless society now. Maybe thats what the guy really wanted anyway...
BBOP.
