I am a German immigrant and living in the USA for 4 years now. I am married to a "first class" citizen (that is really how they call them!) and therefore have legal status as a "permanent resident". I am aware that you have to be 5 (or 8??) years in this legal status before becoming a citizen via "naturalization".
NOW MY QUESTION:
Is it *mandatory* that immigrants have to speak the "Pledge of Allegiance", with that infamous Eisenhower addition "one nation under god"??????
I am of pagan faith and DO NOT worship the abrahamic deity. Any oath made to THAT god would be a false oath from me.
Now, what are non-abrahamics (non-jewish, non-christians and non muslims) saying in that case?
I cannot possibly be the only Pagan immigrating?
What do Buddhists say? And Hindus? And Atheists?
Although it is still so much time until I can think about naturalization, I am already really worried about that!!!
Thanks for all SERIOUS answers!
