Francis Julius Bellamy (May 18, 1855 – August 28, 1931) was an American Christian socialist Baptist minister and author.[1] He is best known for writing the original version of the Pledge of Allegiance in 1892.
Have him leave out the god part. It was added to weed out communists spies from the USSR, because they totally aren't allowed to lie about being religious...
Frankly, minus the religion mumbojumbo, the pledge is a great thing to aspire to, especially if you consider the flag a stand-in to represent the rights and freedoms of your countrymen.
