RE: Speaking of church and state

[Ian Skinner]

I find it interesting that "Under God" did not appear in the pledge until 1954.  Is it really that much of a tradition then?  50 years not I guess, but the original pledge is 110 years old.  What was wrong with it?

I pledge allegiance to my Flag,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
     one Nation indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.
