Fun fact! “Fun”, actually.

Under God wasn’t in the original version. It wasn’t added until 1954 because they didn’t to be like communist countries and be seen as a secular government.

Good old fashion forcing religion on your citizens.

That makes sense. It did seem like the under god was out of place. Everything else flowed pretty well until the under god part.

This was also the same time "In God We Trust" was added to all coins and paper money.
