I know there is a separate thread on this subject, but can anyone instruct me how this secular democratic republic endorsed a pledge of allegiance that presumes, no, requires, everyone to be "one Nation under God". Also, is this accepted by Moslems, Christians, Jews, Hindus, etc, as being under a different god, but at least under a god, or do the non christians believers assume it refers to the christian god?
It strikes me that the rights of aethiests are being trampled everyday.
I quote: "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."
