11. OK, so maybe it's not bullshit.
But it's still not fair, and trying to maintain the wall of separation is a little more important than equating it to a "crackpot" who wants to protest some form of government program.

What do I make of Jefferson's bible? From what I've heard of it, it pissed off a lot of Christians. But apart from that, we're talking about the pledge here, and the Founders not only expressly excluded religion from the public sphere ("no religious test for public office"), but they didn't even require a pledge at all.
