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.

Did Obama omit the words under god in the pledge?
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.
