Supreme Court to Take Up 'Under God'
AP reports, "Americans overwhelmingly want the phrase 'under God' preserved in the Pledge of Allegiance, a new poll says as the Supreme Court on Wednesday examines whether the classroom salute crosses the division of church and state." :: While this report does not really fit our classic definition of persecution (Matthew 24:8), it does point to the animosity some have at even the generic mention of God.
