Atheists challenging ‘under God’ need to win hearts, not just minds

7. There are also some religions that do not have a deity, or do not have a single deity.

'Under god' would be exclusive of polytheistic faiths, strictly speaking. And they notice the wording, you can be sure.

Most sects of Buddhist would not recognize a singular, unifying deity that could be colloquially referred to as 'under god'. They have such a concept as a supernatural god-like entity, but they reject a singular creator type god, and most importantly do not worship or follow such beings. (There are a couple, small sect exceptions to this, but they are numerically small)

Hinduism, or most sects of it, might have issues with that term as well. There are many more. It would require each individual exposed to the phrase to generously re-interpret the statement to match whatever they believe of don't believe.

Personally I wouldn't have anything to interpret it into. But that's why I've always been silent during those two beats when other people recite it.
