Francis Bellamy wrote the original Pledge in 1892. The phrase, "under God," was added to the pledge in 1954 after a campaign by the Knights of Columbus (a Catholic organization). The proponents of the phrase felt the need to distinguish the Pledge of Allegiance from similar orations used by 'godless communists' in the Soviet Union.
