Reid is older than myself. Under God was NOT in the Pledge for my first 7 years of school. And I’m not sure if all schools added it immediately.

That is correct. The pledge was originally created in 1892 by socialist Francis Bellamy as a means of promoting loyalty to the state. Reid is simply reciting the pledge in which he truly believes. I'm pretty sure the phrase "under God" was added in the 50's
