Under God was added to a communist pledge. It was added so arguments would be difficult against it. While trying to elevate the people who had caused the great depression and several other depressions. That group went on to create more depressions. Renaming them as recessions as a euphemism.

Other religions should be allowed the same, or similar funding as the funding given today.
