America to stay "One nation under God"

[A Black Falcon]

Thanks for erasing my post... if anyone missed it, I was saying how that line was added for the express purpose of getting Americans to be more religious, and not just as a symbol of our religious heritage, so I don't see how it could possibly be anything other than a very thinly veiled prayer. As ASM said, it's there because they wanted to counter the evil godless commies. Hmm, I am REALLY wondering if it was meant just as a recognition of our religious heritage...

What the Pledge is is a statement in school every day that everyone should be religious and believe in God and if you don't you aren't an American (you're a evil Commie, they'd say when they added it in). I don't think that that is very much in line with freedom of religion... or speech... or separation of church and state...
