None of this states - UNDER CHRIST

Further change would come to the Pledge in the 1950s, as the Cold War's fight against "godless Communism"
added new possibilities to the ritual of the Pledge. The changes began with a few recitations by the Sons of the
American Revolution and the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic organization, who first added the words "Under
God" to the Pledge. This change ignited a movement that soon came before Congress in 1953.

1954 - 1999: Reaffirmation

The official campagin to add the words "Under God" to the pledge began with a 1952 campaign by the Hearst
newspaper chain, supported as well by the Knights of Columbus.

After the first few bills failed, the campaign the campaign gained traction with a few U.S. senators in 1954,
before being passed also by the House of Representatives. On June 14, 1954, President Eisenhower signed the law
adding the words "Under God" to the pledge.

The addition of "Under God" presented a few problems for those who disagreed with the change. First, to
reference "God" in a national pledge introduced religion into an otherwise secular pledge. Second, the concept of
the nation as under any god could be seen to violate the principle of separation of church and state. Third, to
have students recite "under God" at school would teach an incorrect understanding of American ideals, as far as
the separation was concerned.

In the decades that followed, the ruling has been challenged in court numerous times, but opposition to "under
God" has always been shot down.
