Whether you agree with the judge/pledge/senior officer or not, it is a respect issue. Also making them pledge is not necessary. But standing is a small price for respect, whether you say the pledge or not.

When the pledge quotes the Christian God, people of other religions have a right not to stand for that. Again, what if it was One Nation, Under Buddha or Allah or Satan. You wouldn't stand either out of "respect"
