Was Not and Is Not

The Pledge of Allegiance of the United States is an oath of loyalty to the federal flag and the Republic of the United States of America composed in 1892. Adopted by Congress as the pledge in 1942 it has been modified four times with the most recent change adding the words "under God" in 1954.

Prior to 1942 the United States did not have a "pledge."pledge did not exist. Before 1954 the United States was not considered a nation  "under God." It was not and is not.

In 1956 "in God We Trust" was adopted as the official motto of the United States. The phrase first appeared on coinage on the 1864 on the two-cent coin. ince 1938, all coins have borne the motto.

In July 1954, just one month after the phrase "under God" was incorporated into the Pledge of Allegiance, Congress required the motto on all coins and currency. The motto was added to paper money during 1957 to 1966.

The point is the United States was not and is not a country under God and has not and does not trust in God. Christians are in the world but not of the world and should act like it.
