The America I love to my core is the America of its founders, not uner any God, not under your God, not under my God, not under anyone's God. The highest authority in this Republic is WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
In this republic of its founders, all people enjoy total freedom to worship any God they choose or none at all. Equal freedom. Thanks to James Madison, father of the Constitution and author of the Bill of Rights, no group may impose their religion on the rest of us.
The silly phrase "under God" did not appear in the Pledge of Allegiance until 1954, when it was pushed though by the lobbying of the Knights of Columbus, a Roman Catholic group. It is no way part of the orginal vision for this Republic.
Under some God? No way. The America I love is not under anyone or anything. If you want a theocratic state, move to Iran.
