The line "one Nation under God" was added in the last 50 years by religious fanatics afraid of communists taking away their bibles. It is not part of the original United States pledge.

The founding fathers believed in a wall between church and state.

If you allow fanatics to turn the United States into a theocracy, you are getting closer to the U.S. being Iran or any other fucked up country run by religious fundamentalists.
