What is the debate about the pledge of allegiance?

Answer by  kristin66 (174)

People believe that having under god in the pledge of allegiance to be unconstitutional because it endorses religion. This makes it like a prayer instead of recognition of your allegiance to the country. Not everyone believes in God and people think it's unfair to be in our constitution.

There is a debate going on among people with the pledge of allegiance. There are all sorts of people living in the United States. Some of these people do not believe in God, they are not religious or believe in a different higher power. They do not think it is right for "God" to be a part of the pledge.

The US comprises many people of many different religions. Some may be of no religion, or one where there is no 'God', or no one god. Their country and their devotion to it is still very important to them, though. 'One nation under God' can ostracise people and cause divisions.

Some places want to take "Under God" out of the constitution so that atheists, agnostics, and polytheists can be patriotic without saying something they don't believe in.
