I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. — Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

You are also allowed to worship unicorns, the Sun, the Devil, Mohamad, Osiris, Vishnu, Allah, the list is infinite.

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.

@Strandjunker Their ethnicity guides them, Christianity is just what they dress it up in.

@Strandjunker Religion is something where you believe in. Trump is a fact, and of all people he is not the one to lecture you on relegion. He has made a mockery of all Ten Commandments. A lying hypocrit.

@Strandjunker Allow me to rephrase that. "... you are free to be a dumbshit who believes in an unseen being for a reward to be granted after you die."

@Strandjunker@mstdn.social If the USA were a Christian nation, it would love its neighbors, not threaten them with tariffs and military force.

Just sayin'.

I remember reading something that went something like this:

Religion is like a penis. It's okay to have one. It's okay to be proud of it. It's okay to pull it out and play with it when you're with other consenting adults.

It's NOT okay to try and shove it into everybody in the US.
