And, of course, everyone ignores (even when it's brought up) the simple fact that the Pledge didn't have the phrase "Under God" in it for decades.
I was watching an old movie on tv last week, made in the 1930s or so. In it, children were reciting the Pledge. No "Under God".
We've fought two world wars and the Korean war without "Under God". We managed to get through half of the 20th century without it, and the tougher half at that. (That Depression thingy, both those World Wars).
Why are two words, inserted a long time after the Pledge was written, so important to you?
We atheists (and many theists) think it's an unconstitutional insertion that doesn't belong, and we much prefer the original version.
So what about you? Why do you like the new one so much better?
