""One nation under God" keeps the Pledge of Allegiance from establishing a state religion, ala the Soviet Union. Recognition of God is not a religion. Atheism is not a religion. No religion is threatened by including "under God." All are threatened when a nation allows itself to be Supreme."
You see it is *insensitive* to atheists, Hindus, Buddhists or whoever to include that phrase so that is why it is ruled *unconstitutional* in our wonderful diverse politically correct multicultural society.

Interesting paragraph.
"With equal pleasure I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people--a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence." - John Jay, Federalist Paper #2.
