The Founding Fathers were not responsible for the Pledge of Allegiance. It was written in 1892 by a magazine editor and officially adopted by the US Congress in 1942. The words "under God" were not added until 1954. The intent, according to President Eisenhower was "In this way we are reaffirming the transcendence of religious faith in America's heritage and future; in this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be our country's most powerful resource in peace and war."
