Yes.

For the pledge though, in high school I started not saying the beginning about "pledging allegiance to the flag" since it struck me as a bit idolatrous. I joined in at "the Republic to which it stands.." as a statement about what America ought to represent.  I have a bit more appreciation of the meaning of the flag as a symbol as I used to (I no longer would say it just a piece of cloth) but still pledging one's allegiance to it, or even to the nation, strikes me as in most cases a misplacement of priorities.

It's usually better if you dress up sort of nicely for church, but I would not want to go to a church where people obsess about it and insist on it and look at you weird if you don't.
