When I was a kid in school we were all forced to pledge allegiance to the flag every morning before classes, and that was all right because we were at war.
The same words were said every morning until June 14 (Flag Day), 1954 When President Dwight D. Eisenhower added the words "under God".
As he signed it into law, he said:
"In this way we are reaffirming the transcendence of religious faith in America's heritage and future; in this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be our country's most powerful resource in peace and war."
...from that time on, millions of helpless kids were influenced by their teachers to acknowledge there is a God, over and over again, every morning, until it was finally burned into their innocent little brains.
