According to the NYSun’s editorial [“One Nation, Under God,” March 24, 2004], in 1954 Congress added the words “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance in order to distinguish America from the godless Soviet Union. But today America’s main foes are theocracies, so what if we update the pledge once again, replacing the words “under God” with “under no God”?
By NYSun’s argument, parents of religious children would have no right to complain, since “no school can compel students to say the pledge. Students may be quiet, remain seated, or even say the whole pledge without the words ‘under [no] God.’ It’s hard for us to see how this amounts to an unconstitutional establishment of [atheism].”
Is that really so difficult to grasp?
