The "under god" phrase was not in the original pledge of allegiance. It was added in the 1950s because Americans were scared of the communists who did not, for the most part, believe in any gods.
If you believe as former president George HW Bush did when he was quoted that atheists should not have the right to be citizens, you are entitled to this discriminatory view. However, it probably will be best to keep in mind that most atheists abide by the law (more so than christians, in proportion, judging by the incarcerated population), and some atheists also serve in the armed forces to defend this country.
If christians decide that atheists should not be allowed to be citizens, converting the founding fathers' original intent (freedom of religion also means freedom from religion), I think they will find a large resistance against theocracy.

Looks like you've been talking to dubya's daddy...
Know that the original pledge of allegiance was written ~without~ the words "under god" in it. The Eisenhower administration added that during the cold war to emphasize the difference between America and the Communists of the USSR.
By law anyone born within the borders of the United States is granted citizenship.

Yes to me it is just like when Joshua was leading the Israelites.He said in Joshua 24:15
15And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

It's not one nation under god. That's why we need to get that crap off our money and out of the pledge.

That is a very stupid question. Jesus would disagree with I do believe. He said he loves everyone, and would not deny anyone.
