“In the melting pot called America, we are one nation under the Constitution … but not one nation under God. Given how the religious right opposes the teaching of evolution or any scientific and social view that conflicts with a literal interpretation of the Bible, we are really becoming one nation undereducated. And that is not an American value to be proud of.”~ Herb Silverman, president of the Secular Coalition for America
True, we are a Republic governed by a Constitution. I believe the clause 'under God' was an addition by Eisenhower. While religious freedom is guarantied by the Constitution, so is freedom from religion. This undereducated nation elected as president, one who 'loves the poorly educated'!
