Should we take "Christ" out Christmas?

Christmas is a household name, you're never going to change that. It's just too big a holiday to try to change it. Liberals are trying to take God/Christ out of the pledge, schools, and everything. It really aggravates me. Just leave it alone it's not hurting anyone, that's the way it's been for centuries.

 

"way it's been for centuries" seems a bit much.  Only information I've seen for the pledge says that Under God was added in the 50's.  Hardly centuries of history.  Given that it was written in 1892 and the Under God part added in 1954 it's spent about half its history without a single mention of god so we'd just be going back to its original intentions.  

I have no specific disdain for any religion over another, but it's my belief that the government should stay away from anything that would seem like condemnation or allegiance to any one religion or the existence or not of religion and the pledge of allegiance is included in that.
