The Freethinkers of Colorado Springs and Focus on the Family sponsored a debate between Reverend Dr. Michael Newdow and Dr. Chris Leland. The debate statement was: Resolved: The phrases “one Nation under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance and “In God We Trust” on U.S. currency violate the Constitution.

This is Dr. Newdow's rebuttal to Dr. Leland's presentation.
