It never ceases to amaze me how the atheists have managed to get so many people so scared of repercussions for evincing a faith in God. One can only assume that someone at NBC was so concerned that using the term "under God" would be offensive to so many viewers that they edited out the phrase.

I've often wondered what drives this fear of religion.

What, exactly, does this have to do with atheism? As has been pointed out, the original pledge had no reference to God and it was written by a Baptist minister, which is not an atheist.
