[ RadSafe ] The republic

More on Bellamy:

 In 1923 and 1924 the National Flag Conference, under the 'leadership of the
American Legion and the Daughters of the American Revolution, changed the
Pledge's words, 'my Flag,' to 'the Flag of the United States of America.'
Bellamy disliked this change, but his protest was ignored.

In 1954, Congress after a campaign by the Knights of Columbus, added the
words, 'under God,' to the Pledge. The Pledge was now both a patriotic oath
and a public prayer.

Bellamy's granddaughter said he also would have resented this second change.
He had been pressured into leaving his church in 1891 because of his
socialist sermons. In his retirement in Florida, he stopped attending church
because he disliked the racial bigotry he found there.

The pledge was authored by a Baptist minister named Francis Bellamy and he
did not feel the need to add God into the pledge you may want to google
"Bellamy pledge" and "Bellamy salute" I found the later rather disturbing???
I am sure our international friends would also think so.

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
