Figure people can use history as to why "Under God" was added in the first place. [url=http://www.ushistory.org/documents/pledge.htm]USHistory.Org[/url] [quote]The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by the socialist minister Francis Bellamy (1855-1931). It was originally published in The Youth's Companion on September 8, 1892. Bellamy had hoped that the pledge would be used by citizens in any country. In its original form it read: "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." In 1923, the words, "the Flag of the United States of America" were added. At this time it read: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Bellamy's daughter objected to this alteration. Today it reads: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."[/quote] From Wikipedia: [quote]The introduction of "under God" in the 1950s was done during the Cold War, as a way to differentiate the U.S. from the concept of communist state atheism.[26][27] [/quote] [url=http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-man-who-wrote-the-pledge-of-allegiance-93907224/?page=2]Smithsonian Magazine (You know, the giant Museum of History facts?[/url] [quote]A decade later, following a lobbying campaign by the Knights of Columbus—a Catholic fraternal organization—and others, Congress approved the addition of the words "under God" within the phrase "one nation indivisible." On June 14, 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the bill into law.[/quote] It was brought up and pushed for my the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic organization, to differentiate from the Communist (USSR)'s anthem. Keep saying "Hurrr SCOTUS said otherwise!" because they didn't. They never made a decision on the case because of a legal technicality. You can say it's constitutional and that it's perfectly legal, but people said the same thing about Segregation and DOMA.
