Many people will say yes, but (I'm assuming your in school) you only have to stand and respect the flag or else you'll be most likely commiting a crime depending on your area, I'm from NJ where it's illegal to sit during the Pledge. I yes that is non-patriotic to not say it, but I don't and I don't care that it is not patrioctic (since I don't say it because I'm an Atheist and the Pledge says 'Under God')

Is there a connection between McCarthyism and the Pledge of Allegiance?

The "under God" clause was added to the Pledge of Allegiance during the McCarthy era, in the belief that no Communist would pledge or swear to God in any way, since they were understood to be atheists. Committed Communists actually had no problems reciting the Pledge of Allegiance or other oaths; part of their commitment was to do or say anything necessary to be trusted, where they worked or operated. The persons affected by the "under God" clause were essentially non-Communists, of beliefs that varied from the Judeo-Christian mainstream.

What did the addition of under God to the PLedge?

The addition of "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954 was intended to emphasize the United States' religious heritage and distinguish it from atheistic communism during the Cold War. This phrase reflects the belief in a nation founded on principles of faith and divine guidance. Its inclusion has sparked ongoing debates about the separation of church and state, as well as the rights of individuals who may not share the same religious beliefs. Critics argue that it marginalizes non-religious citizens and those of different faiths.
