Which makes sense.

The whole ritual of having young children stand and recite a "pledge" in unison to a symbol always seem very Nazi or communistic, like the films we were shown of how things were in Nazi Germany, Russia, China and North Korea.

So much ignorance, so little time.

- the Constitution us the organizational document for the national government. Plenty or references to God/The Creator in the Declaration of Independence and state constitutions of the period.

- 1st Amendment prohibited a national religion. State and local governments collected taxes to support churches until the 1830s.

- Jefferson and Madison were against state interference with religion, not necessarily vice versa.

- treaty was with Muslims and that statement was in there for appearances. Even if the official position of the government at the time, subsequent actions have negated its effect ( see, Treaty of Tripoli & the confusion surrounding it explained in four poi – AmericanMinute.com-William J.
