[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For people who don’t see the point, I think it’s nice and builds a sense of group identity and unity that we don’t have nowadays. Yes, I know the words “under God” are in there, but the reality is that our history includes being a Christian nation. That doesn’t mean we are majority Christian now or that we demand citizens uphold Christian values, but I think it’s worth recognizing that history and acknowledging it (including our past mistakes), rather than try to sweep it under the rug. [/quote] The “under god” bit was added in 1954, Congress passed the law during the Cold War to distinguish the United States from the atheistic Soviet Union. It’s reactionary and doesn’t reflect our nation as it was intended. [/quote]
