If we were to have freedom of religion....why do we say "under God" when saying the pledge of allegiance...why on money it says..."in God we Trust," Why do we sing songs that deal with how blessed our country is?
Our Constitution was structured by the bible right?

Re: Bible and Constitution
There are plenty of threads on this issue already, search the site and you will find a lot material.
It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.
I could only turn and stare in horror at the chief surgeon.
Death by starvation is a terrible thing, Goodsir, continued Stanley.
And with that we went below to the flame-flickering Darkness of the lower deck
and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night
without.

the god in the pledge was added during the cold war to separate us further from the atheist communist.

As to the pledge of allegiance, I feel like it's how you read it.bernalarlene wrote:If we were to have freedom of religion....why do we say "under God" when saying the pledge of allegiance...why on money it says..."in God we Trust," Why do we sing songs that deal with how blessed our country is?

1. You take it to mean we are all religious and professing belief in trust in God
2. It is a means to say that the state is under God in the sense that we do not control God (synonymous with religion) and everyone is free to follow who they choose. In that sense, the state is under God but not like a theocracy.
And we do have freedom of religion, it's only bigots that jump at the chance to start trouble that stir up these things.
