I voted to remove it. It doesn't much bother me now but when I was younger, it definitely made me feel uncomfortable when we had to get up every day and pledge allegiance and talk about god. I don't have to pledge allegiance anymore and I've never really sat and examined my money but I can imagine that it makes people uncomfortable too. I do believe that it ties our government to Christianity and I don't think that the government should have to answer to any religious groups. It complicates things that are already messy and like ~hyz said, it throws up roadblocks to progress.
