the pledge is:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
and to the Republic for witch it stands
one nation UNDER GOD indivisible
with liberty and justice for all"
our nation is founded on Christianity and it should stay that way our forefathers fought for our freedom of religion and America is wrong for taking God out of public schools it is wrong to take God out of something our forefathers fought for!!

One nation under God.

Neither. God should not be mentioned in the pledge of the United States. The United States is about freedom for ALL, not just about freedom for Christians and that phrase was added during the Cold War in the 1950's AGAINST the Constitution.

Why would we have to have either?
"One nation under God" isn't original to the pledge. I personally think we should take it out to be true to our history.
Note: It was added, with "In God We Trust" on our money, during the 50's. Because of the cold war scare. I suppose people were scared into God.

Does anyone even say the pledge? I think the whole idea is strange. Pledging to a flag. If we have one how about skipping the whole flag nonsense and get to the crux of it. Like I pledge my allegiance to the United States of America not to harm her or take up arms against her. Kind of like incorporating the pledge you take when you join the military.
That will wake up some little first graders.
But remember, the Nazis used to pledge their allegiance to Hitler and look where that got us.

Actually I would prefer it said One Nation,Indivisible without the uder God in it. In other words I would rather have it returned to its original text as it was first written.

Neither.
No one is proposing that we change the saying to "One nation over god." You're just saying that to get people stirred up.
You do know that that phrase "Under god" was added during the cold war and wasn't originally there. right?

Neither. I'd prefer the pre-1954 version of the Pledge:
One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all!
