Is God mentioned in the pledge of allegiance?
As this is a question asking for opinions and political views, it will necessarily have different views. This answer will put those arguments that support removing God from the US Pledge of Allegience first and those that reject that idea second. This order has no bearing on whether or not the idea is correct.YES - AnswersAnswer 1Of course - if God doesn't belong in the constitution, and is specifically excluded and it is called the 'highest law of the land' then the god and bible have no place in our law. sneaking him into the pledge to attack innocent children of non-christians is a horrible defilement of liberty. and if you read the pledge, and THINK about the words-they made sense until he was added.... for example, you can't keep 'indivisible' after adding 'under god' as it divides us. just as it would if it said 'one nation of white men'. it's deplorable and no patriot would say it. they indoctrinate children with it who dont understand the words and by the time they do, they've long since accepted the hashed unamerican pledge that defiles the original by Bellamy which defined Americans by citizenship, not religion. the first right reserved to protect the little guy is that right of conscience... and all other rights flow from that.... there's a reason christians voted against jesus in the constitution when patrick henry proposed it.... today's christians have forgotten the reason and instead attack liberty, not realizing its a collective good, not an individual asset to steal from others to gain special rights.The view of the majority is irrelevant. This isn't Ancient Athens; it's not a democracy. it's constitutional republic-so beng 4/5 just means abuse of power over the other 20%. the pledge violates jews, muslims. buddhists, and everyone else who isn't christian. it divides us, claiming were a nation of christians and others who are outsiders, not part of the one nation 'under god' and lastlyits selfish. And no it's unpatriotic as i argued, and no rebuttal was given. And that part only makes it sleazy-as it wraps something not allowed up in a patriotism wrapper to protect him from real patriots. and it disproves itself, adding god destroys all the other words-the real american principles-like liberty. The equal version against christians would be "one nation under no gods" and that too would be wrong and unamerican. Imagine being a christian and your kid/s is/are forced to listen and endure that crap every morning and they are outed by the school-that you pay taxes for... any time someone is forced to reveal their faith or non-faith by a public institution, the most important part of the Constitution has been violated.And again it violates everyone that's not christian. For example, I know because I'm Buddhist. Madison wrote the damn [establishment] clause based on Jefferson's virginia version and NEITHER OF THEM WERE CHRISTIANS....Again if god and jesus werent welcome in the constitution, only lies allow god to stay in the safe arms of the pledge. Example last time the argument was thate god is secular..... even though they are mutually exclusive terms. the only secular god is a dead god-like Zeus or Ra.the simple fact that christians have challenged it the most as they were violated shows how wrong it is. The christians i speak of are jehovah's witnesses... and us real patriots thank them for their devotion to their rght to practice their faith without other pushy christians-the unAmerican ones getting between them and their children-deplorable!Answer 2Yes, removing the term "Under God" would be proper. The addition of "Under God" to the US Pledge of Allegiance occurred in 1954 and was added specifically because it was believed that the Communists in Russia were "godless" and therefore the US's religiosity as a country was what distinguished us from them. However, it should not have been acceptable at the time on account of the Establishment Clause violation mentioned in Answer 1, and it certainly is not acceptable today because the original reason for its addition has now faded away. Communism is, for all intents and purposes, an extinct political ideology.NO - AnswersAnswer 1No, it is not right. The majority of Americans believe in God, and this is to be valued. Saying "under God" does not "attack non-Christians." Revering the presence of God is as American as the Stars and Stripes and makes patriotism part of a higher picture. Those who wish to live as atheists are capable of doing so and need not interfere with a proclamation which is not denominational, is not a prayer, and makes no demand on them.Answer 2No, it is proper to keep the pledge as is. The phrase "Under God" is a celebration of the various spiritual and religious cultures in the United States. The pledge lists numerous attributes about Americans, namely how they are a united people endowed with liberty and gifted with a sense of willful determination, a determination that for many comes from their faith in God. Additionally, much of the history of the United States has been written with religious or quasi-religious patriotic statements. The first settlements in Plymouth were declared to be a New Jerusalem. The expansion westward was considered to be Manifest Destiny and Divine Providence. The institutions of slavery and abolition, segregation and civil rights, all used religious metaphors and ideas to argue on their claims of morality. The "Under God" is a recognition of the powerful and profound importance that God and His morality as interpreted by numerous Americans, has had on the development of the United States.
Can a teacher force a student to stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance?
It isn't illegal but you can be confronted by the child's parents, because some religions don't say the pledge to the flag, so he can stand. He doesn't have to say it or put his or her hand over their chest, but standing is permitted. I had a guy like that in my class once when I was in High school. He was Muslim. He wouldn't stand up for the pledge. The teacher was upset, but he was okay with standing but not saying it.AnswerI pledge allegiance, To every flag, on our planet Earth and for our planet we will remain equals, all nations under godwith liberty and justice for all.The current pledge is something that no one should have to stand for or even have the desire to stand for. The modern day America is anything but free. And why one nation under god? are we to honestly believe that America is the only nation god watches...because to me it looks like god has given up on us a long long time ago or this corruption of our leaders would not continue.Liberty and Justice for all is also complete fiction. What about 9/11? there was a lot of Justice there. I can not tell you i am 100% sure the government (who were sworn to protect us) committed such an injustice, but the evidence and facts shown leaves me to believe they have betrayed us. I am only 16 years old but I have taught myself not to believe what I am told but rather what i see. The truth is hidden behind all these lies that keep these government officials safe and I will find it.
Do you have to stand when the pledge to the American flag is done?
There is no law requiring you to do so. If you feel patriotic and wish to participate in the pledge, then stand, put your hand over your heart, and recite it. You can also stand respectfully and remain silent if you have any objection to the pledge (e.g. some people do for religious reasons, or for political reasons). Sitting while others stand and recite the pledge is your right, but people will undoubted be offended by this so be prepared to engage in a conversation with people about your decision.

Who decided to put 'under god' in the Pledge of Allegiance?
Short answer: Christians. Louis A. Bowman, an attorney from Illinois, was the first to initiate the addition of "under God" to the Pledge. In 1951, the Knights of Columbus, the world's largest Catholic fraternal organization, began including the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Over the next two years, the idea spread throughout Knights of Columbus organizations.This campaign led to several official attempts to prompt Congress to adopt the Knights of Columbus' policy for the entire nation. Prior to February 1954, no endeavor to get the Pledge officially amended succeeded. The final successful push came from pastor, George MacPherson Docherty. On February 7, 1954, with President Eisenhower attending, he delivered a sermon based about what he felt was missing from the Pledge. He cited Lincoln's words "under God" as defining words that set the United States apart from other nations. President Eisenhower had been baptized a Presbyterian, just a year before. He responded enthusiastically to Docherty in a conversation following the service. Eisenhower acted on his suggestion the next day and on February 8, 1954, Rep. Charles Oakman (R-Mich.), introduced a bill to that effect. Congress passed the necessary legislation and Eisenhower signed the bill into law on Flag Day, June 14, 1954. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegiance#Addition_of_.22under_God.22
