Right. I'm not saying anything except perhaps to ask you how ony from a MOQ 
perspective would identify a nation that requires children to recite such a 
pledge?

And a Quote:

"We are moving towards a fascist theocracy when you have a government that 
prefers a certain moral code derived from a certain religion, and that moral 
code turns into legislation, to suit a certain religious point of view, and 
if that moral code happens to be very very right wing [.] then we are moving 
towards a fascist theocracy ."
