Remove the words “under God” from The Pledge of Allegiance.

Created by J.O. on September 11, 2015

In 1923 The Pledge of Allegiance written for the US 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, Congress added the words "under God," creating the pledge we say today. "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."
The first Amendment of the Constitution states that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Therefore in my option the 1954 change to The Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional and we need to reinstate the 1923 Pledge of Allegiance.
