What Are The Pros And Cons Of Under God

Under God

Michael Newdow believes that “The government of the U.S should show equal respect for all of our lawful religious views”. Many American people are starting to argue about “under god” being in the Pledge of the United States Of America. It is becoming a problem. And its violating amendment 1 from freedom of religion. This problem needs to be solved.

Pledge allegiance history

The pledge was made in august 1892. It was written by francis Bellamy(‘The Pledge”).Francis was a baptist minister that was from New York(Jeffrey).It was originally made by the Knights Of Columbus. The Knights Of Columbus were a large catholic fraternal service organization. The pledge was first part of the celebration for Columbus Day.There
The pledge was mostly said in school mornings. Before class started they would start saying the pledge. When you say the Pledge you have to stand & look at the flag. You place your right hand on your heart and look straight to the flag then you start reciting the pledge(“pledge of”).

Pros

People who are for “under god” in the pledge support it for many reasons. Ronald Reagan said,” If we ever forget that we are one nation under god, then we will be a nation gone under. If we take “under god” away our nation heritage will go away too.(US pledge). Because our founding fathers were people of god(“the words”). A lot of american people say if you change it, it is going to feel wrong because they have gotten use to it.

The pledge is voluntary so people that feel uncomfortable don't have to say it. 85 percent of americans want the “under god” to stay in the pledge(god can). Also “under god” is not talking about our religious position(“why i”). Because the pledge is an expression to the flag of the US(“god can”). And kids shouldn't think they have to say it. That's why in 1943 supreme court ruled that school children could not be
Everybody needs equal rights( “US pledge”). The american human association wants people to sit out till the pledge is removed(why i). “Under god” is a statement of religious belief and violates the separation between church and state(“US pledge”). It's no use for it to be in the pledge because it was just to divide the US from communist countries(Anderson). Lawsuit has been sent to New Jersey and other places(“god can”). God is not a name to be used by the government for political reasons.

Conclusion

After many of these arguments whether “under god” should stay in the pledge or not. We should remove it. Because it's unfair to others with different beliefs. Like us as a nation we should understand why many people are mad about this topic. Because they came to America for freedom of religion, like amendment one says.they came to this country so they could believe in anything they wanted any other religion that isn't christianity , but our pledge is telling them otherwise.

Our government needs to know this is wrong that they our discriminating many others living in this country. Yes, it would be difficult children and adults to learn a new pledge without those words. People should know why this is wrong. We all need to be equal in this nation. We are a nation, but a nation with different raises and
