During the Cold War, the US was opposed to the USSR, and they were an officially atheist nation, therefore the US wished to emphasize that it was a religious nation and therefore the opposite of the USSR. The main conflict was between economic systems, capitalism vs. communism, and between political systems, democracy vs. Dictatorship, but there was a religious element as well.
Not exactly the pledge of allegiance is a symbol of freedom and when it says under God it means we have the freedom of religion it should say under god/gods
No, there should not. A comma would indicate a pause, but one was not included when the pledge was updated in 1954. To me, saying, "one nation under God" without a pause sounds much better.
God It is pledge,not GOD.(though GOD is good)
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
"I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, and with liberty and justice for all."
The words "under God" were added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954. This change was made during the height of the Cold War to distinguish the United States from the officially atheist Soviet Union.
"Under God..."
The pledge is:I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas one state under God, one and indivisible.

Yes, the pledge of allegiance is still in schools. In a lot of schools across America, children and young adults are saying the pledge of allegiance. Some are not allowing the phrase "under God" in the pledge, for not everyone believes in God, and it is only respectful.
No, he never did. He says the pledge of allegiance the way it has been since 1954. However, it should be noted that when the pledge was originally written in the 1890s, it did not have the words "under God." That phrase was inserted during the McCarthy era, to show that America was different from the Soviet Union-- we believed in God, and they did not. That said, contrary to many internet myths, President Obama has never disrespected the flag, has never refused to say the pledge, and always says it correctly.
