I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

The "under God" part wasn't added until 1954, and was a reaction to "Godless Communism". |
Yep, I can think of more than a few of the US founding fathers that would be rather upset with that change. But I'm sure there would be a whole lot of other things they would be even more upset with.
Other than the church thing, I'm kind of indifferent. I had no idea though that there was such a thing as a 'Christian' flag
. But I guess it is only used in a handful of countries. Why do I get the feeling some guy just decided one day that this would be the flag for 'all' Christians--of course without actually asking anyone else...
