The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution
The two documents upon which our country was actually founded
the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States
contain not a single word about Christianity, Christian principles,
the Bible or Jesus Christ.
Neither is there any mention at all of the Ten Commandments,
Heaven, Hell or being saved. Not a word! The phrase "they are
endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights" was a
reference to the Deist Creator, rather than the God of Christianity.
The Christian clergy of the Revolutionary period tried again
and again to have references to Christianity inserted directly into
the U.S. Constitution, but they were refused every time by the
Founders.
In 1797 the United States ratified the Treaty of Tripoli, which
was negotiated by George Washington himself and signed by his
successor, John Adams. The treaty declared that "the government
of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian
religion." Congress unanimously approved the text of this treaty.

The national motto was not changed to "In God We Trust"
until 1956, 180 years after the founding of our nation.
I pledge allegiance to my Flag,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.
October 11, 1892
Do to the growing immigrants in the nation they reworded some of the words and altered it for better understanding to immigrants.
I pledge allegiance to
Flag of the United States,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.
June 14, 1923
The following year the wording was changed again to read:
I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.
June 14, 1924
The last change in the Pledge of Allegiance occurred on June 14 (Flag Day), 1954 when President Dwight D. Eisenhower approved adding the words "under God". As he authorized this change he said:
"In this way we are reaffirming the transcendence of religious faith in America's heritage and future; in this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be our country's most powerful resource in peace and war."
I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation under God, indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.
(This is the reason our country is in War and radical Muslims are targeting us. Even though our fore fathers started this nation as a freedom of religion nation with NO set national religion.)
ENDING THE DEBATE ON WAS THIS COUNTRY STARTED A CHRISTIAN NATION.
If one dismisses all preconceived historical inaccuracies and Christian propaganda, then an extraordinary and very revealing
fact emerges:
The two documents upon which our country was actually founded—i.e., the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States—contain not a single word about Christianity, Christian principles, the Bible or Jesus Christ.
Neither is there any mention at all of the Ten Commandments, Heaven, Hell or being saved. Not a word! The phrase "they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights" was a reference to the Deist Creator, rather than the God of Christianity.

Bring back our original Pledge of Allegiance so the world will know we are not A Christian Nation but a nation of many beleifs or NO beleifs.
