Religious groups are whining cause Dr Pepper left out \”under god\” from the pledge of allegiance on their patriotic cans. The cans have a picture of the Statue of Liberty and \”One nation…indivisible.\”

\”These groups are trying to meld patriotism and support for freedom with religious faith,\” said Ellen Johnson, President of American Atheists. \”That\’s ironic since the September 11 terrorist attacks were carried out by religious fanatics promoting an authoritarian creed against a nation that explicitly celebrates the separation of church and state.\”
