"We are ONE NATION, under God. Francis Scott Key's words ring true for every single American Citizen regardless of their skin color. James Weldon Johnson's 'Lift Your Voice' is a beautiful song, but it is not our National Anthem," she continued.

Francis Scott Key wrote the national anthem but the words One Nation Under God is from the Pledge of Allegiance written by Francis Bellamy.

I don’t know what the writer’s intension was but is confusing.

“the words One Nation Under God is from the Pledge of Allegiance written by Francis Bellamy.”

Nope. Congress added “under God” in 1954.
