I expect the references to God will soon be removed. And eventually, no doubt, the term 'stand on guard' will be deemed too martial. Probably replaced with something like "pledge our hearts to thee."
Not sure why anyone cares one way or another. People never sing the anthem anymore. It's not like we still sing it in school every morning. Patriotism itself doesn't really jibe with modern sensibilities. Our grandkids will probably shake their heads at the very notion of an anthem as mindless jingoism. Once you come to believe the past is an era of unrelenting ignorance and folly, it's inevitable these historical relics are abandoned.
