Before 1954, the Pledge of Allegiance did not even include the words "under god". Our nation is supposed to have a separation of church and state, but t currently has millions of school children in government funded public schools saying under God. This also does not show freedom of religion. The loophole is you are not forced to say the Pledge, but this is supposed to be something every American can say "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."
