Even worse, some versions of the pledge make you swear "under god" which is fucked up. Christian Nationalists are what is destroying america.

~~Good~~ How can there be different versions of the pledge? Is it that each state technically has their own pledge?

We added "under God" to the pledge in the 50s or 60s. At the same time we put "In God We Trust," on the dollar. We were differentiating against the USSR which was an atheist state.
