President Obama sat with President Turkey and said, "We have a very large population of Christians, I think we are not Christian, Jewish, Muslim countries. We were ideally tied up It is a citizen state and it is a series of values. "(White House Press Release) There are many Christians in the United States, but there are many religions in our culture, non religious citizens, atheists , And conflicts continue with agnosticists.
There is also controversy over the wording of the covenant, some believe that "under the church" is one of the main religions that the country follows, so "under the god" should be placed in the promise I will. However, this has been questioned many times. Its main reason is that people believe that such demands violate the first amendment allowing for freedom of expression based on the Constitution and religious grounds on which the United States is based. If you want to promise to your child, then let me say that they are immoral on this basis "in front of God".
The country of loyalty is the country under God. When Americans swore allegiance to the American flag, he insisted it to be the only country under the rule of God and the people of the sea were murdered for praying to God. Freedom of speech and religious beliefs are only two of the many freedoms the Americans have. For other countries, they can pray to God or even silently, but no one has heard of it, but Americans gather to become a country under God without punishment I promise. The American flag stands fluttered with pride, but its courage to fly in the wind reminds Americans.
The two words "under the god" are the most controversial about the swearing. Initially, the promise written by Francis Bellamy did not include religious references. It was not until June 1954 that the joint resolution of President Eisenhower and Congress as part of the anti-Communist movement of the Cold War added the word "under God". However, although the United States is a diverse country with citizens with various cultural and religious backgrounds, these words are only advantageous for certain religions. Furthermore, the separation of church and state should prohibit the use of "under the god" at school. Furthermore, if the first amendment supports all religions, it should not be treated differently as a pledge of allegiance. Instead, the promise only quotes God.
